pulpino soc has custom-extended riscv ISA that is accounted
for if CONFIG_RISCV_GENERIC_TOOLCHAIN is not set.
(ex: bit manipulation asm opcodes)

RISC-V is an open-source instruction set architecture.
Added support for the 32bit version of RISC-V to Zephyr.
1) exceptions/interrupts/faults are handled at the architecture
level via the __irq_wrapper handler. Context saving/restoring
of registers can be handled at both architecture and SOC levels.
If SOC-specific registers need to be saved, SOC level needs to
provide __soc_save_context and __soc_restore_context functions
that shall be accounted by the architecture level, when
corresponding config variable RISCV_SOC_CONTEXT_SAVE is set.
2) As RISC-V architecture does not provide a clear ISA specification
about interrupt handling, each RISC-V SOC handles it in its own
way. Hence, at the architecture level, the __irq_wrapper handler
expects the following functions to be provided by the SOC level:
__soc_is_irq: to check if the exception is the result of an
interrupt or not.
__soc_handle_irq: handle pending IRQ at SOC level (ex: clear
pending IRQ in SOC-specific IRQ register)
3) Thread/task scheduling, as well as IRQ offloading are handled via
the RISC-V system call ("ecall"), which is also handled via the
__irq_wrapper handler. The _Swap asm function just calls "ecall"
to generate an exception.
4) As there is no conventional way of handling CPU power save in
RISC-V, the default nano_cpu_idle and nano_cpu_atomic_idle
functions just unlock interrupts and return to the caller, without
issuing any CPU power saving instruction. Nonetheless, to allow
SOC-level to implement proper CPU power save, nano_cpu_idle and
nano_cpu_atomic_idle functions are defined as __weak
at the architecture level.
