riscv_isa_ext_keys[] is an array of static keys used in the unified
ISA extension framework. The keys added to this array may be used
anywhere, including in modules. Ensure the keys remain writable by
placing them in the data section.
The need to change riscv_isa_ext_keys[]'s section was found when the
kvm module started failing to load. Commit 8eb060e10185 ("arch/riscv:
add Zihintpause support") adds a static branch check for a newly
added isa-ext key to cpu_relax(), which kvm uses.
Fixes: c360cbec3511 ("riscv: introduce unified static key mechanism for ISA extensions")

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.
