[PATCH 4/9] RISC-V: Use Zicboz in clear_page when available

[Andrew Jones <ajones@ventanamicro.com>]

Using memset() to zero a 4K page takes 563 total instructions
where 20 are branches. clear_page() with Zicboz takes 198 total
instructions where 64 are branches. We could reduce the number
branches by unrolling, but since the cboz block size isn't fixed,
cbo.zero doesn't take an offset, and even PAGE_SIZE doesn't have
to be 4K forever, we'd end up implementing a Duff device where
each unrolled block would not only contain a cbo.zero instruction,
but also an add to update the base address. So, for now, it seems
the simple tight loop approach is better. At least we don't have
to worry as much about potential icache misses as unrolled loops
do. Of course as hardware becomes available we can experiment
with unrolling too.
