Andy Chiu 5c93c4c72f selftests: Test RISC-V Vector's first-use handler
This add a test to check if the kernel zero-initializes all V registers
after the first-use trap handler returns.

If V registers are not zero-initialized, then the test should fail one
out of several runs:

```
 root@sifive-fpga:~# ./v_initval_nolibc
 # vl = 256
 not ok 1 detect stale values on v-regesters
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0   0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
 0 4c 41 4e 47 3d 43 0   50 41 54 48 3d 2f 75 73
 72 2f 6c 6f 63 61 6c 2f   73 62 69 6e 3a 2f 75 73
 72 2f 6c 6f 63 61 6c 2f   62 69 6e 3a 2f 75 73 72
 ff ff 81 0 0 0 0 0   0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
```

Otherwise, the test passes without errors each run.

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.
