This patch series adds the support for RISC-V ISA extension smcntrpmf (cycle and
privilege mode filtering) [1]. It is based on Kevin's earlier work but improves
it by actually implement privilege mode filtering by tracking the privilege
mode switches. This enables the privilege mode filtering for mhpmcounters as
well. However, Smcntrpmf/Sscofpmf must be enabled to leverage this. This series
also modified to report the raw instruction count instead of virtual cpu time
based on the instruction count when icount is enabled. The former seems to be
the preferred approach for instruction count for other architectures as well.

Please let me know if anybody thinks that's incorrect.

Changes from v4->v5:
1. Rebased on top of master(158a054c4d1a).
2. Fixed a bug for VS<->HS transition.

Changes from v3->v4:
1. Fixed the ordering of the ISA extension names in isa_edata_arr.
2. Added RB tags.

Changes from v2->v3:
1. Fixed the rebasing error in PATCH2.
2. Added RB tags.
3. Addressed other review comments. 

Changes from v1->v2:
1. Implemented actual mode filtering for both icount and host ticks mode.
1. Addressed comments in v1.
2. Added Kevin's personal email address.
