    <p>
      Start support for the RISC-V architecture.
      
      RISC-V is a new ISA designed to support computer architecture research and education and is now set become a standard open architecture for industry implementations.
      
      Committed the minimal amount of changes requires to compile kernel-toolchain. Also committed machine headers and run-time linker (rtld-elf) support.
      
      All the development happens in separate branch, with a goal to move development to head in a few weeks.
      
      FreeBSD/RISC-V boots to multiuser in Spike simulator.
