Heiko Stuebner 47f05757d3 RISC-V: add helpers for handling immediates in U-type and I-type pairs
Used together U-type and I-type instructions can for example be used to
generate bigger jumps (i.e. in auipc+jalr pairs) by splitting the value
into an upper immediate (i.e. auipc) and a 12bit immediate (i.e. jalr).

Due to both immediates being considered signed this creates some corner
cases, so add some helper to prevent this from getting duplicated in
different places.

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.
