Various Linux kernel DEBUG options have big performance impact so
these should not be enabled in RISC-V normal defconfigs.
Instead we should have separate RISC-V fragmented config for enabling
these DEBUG options. This way Linux RISC-V kernel can be built for
both non-debug and debug purposes using same defconfig.
This patch moves additional DEBUG options to extra_debug.config.
To configure a non-debug RV64 kernel, we use our normal defconfig:
$ make O=<linux_build_directory> defconfig
Wherease to configure a debug RV64 kernel, we use extra_debug.config:
$ make O=<linux_build_directory> defconfig extra_debug.config
Signed-off-by: Anup Patel <anup.patel@wdc.com>

Changes since v1:
- Use fragmented .config instead of separate debug defconfigs.

Might be better to call this rv_debug.config (or riscv_debug.config),
This would imply it is a set of options recommended by riscv
maintainers and also having a suitable prefix means it is less
likely to ever conflict with .config files in kernel/configs .
BTW don't respin the patch on my account. Using a .config file was just
an idea and I'm not sure it reached consensus on the v1 thread.

Yes, rv_debug.config seems a better name.
I will wait for more comments before renaming it to rv_debug.config

Not a problem, actually David Abdurachmanov (SiFive) had also
suggested to use fragmented config for debug options.
Actually, we are seeing 12% performance drop in Hackbench by
having DEBUG options enabled by default in normal defconfigs
so we certainly need to move it out of normal defconfigs. Having
fragmented config for DEBUG options is certainly a clean and
maintainable approach that's why I went ahead with your suggestion.
