Currently, all harts have to jump Linux in RISC-V. This complicates the multi-stage boot process as every transient stage also has to ensure all harts enter to that stage and jump to Linux afterwards. It also obstructs a clean Kexec implementation. SBI HSM extension provides alternate solutions where only a single hart need to boot and enter Linux. The booting hart can bring up secondary harts one by one afterwards. Add SBI HSM based cpu_ops that implements an ordered booting method in RISC-V. This change is also backward compatible with older firmware not implementing HSM extension. If a latest kernel is used with older firmware, it will continue to use the default spinning booting method.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
