Hmm, naming this with a riscv_v_ prefix too would be good I think.

I really don't think that this should be in here at all. IMO, this
should be moved out to vector.c or something along those lines and...

...so should all of this code, especially the csr_read(). vector.c
would then provide the actual implementation, and vector.h would provide
an implementation with an empty function body.
The code here could the, following my previous suggestion of
IS_ENABLED() look along the lines of:
	if (elf_hwcap & COMPAT_HWCAP_ISA_V) {
		if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V))
			riscv_v_setup_vsize();
		else
			elf_hwcap &= ~COMPAT_HWCAP_ISA_V;
	}

Having the csr_read() in particular looks rather out of place to me in
this file. Better off keeping the vector stuff together & having
unneeded ifdefs is my pet peeve ;)

Thanks,
Conor.
