Gentle ping -- would somebody like to have a go at the riscv
do_transaction_failed hook conversion? I think it should be
straightforward, and riscv is now the only architecture still
using the old unassigned_access hook and preventing us from
getting rid of it entirely.
Thanks for the ping Peter, I forgot about this.
@Palmer I have taken your patches, made some changes based on Peter's
comments and rebased them on your PR branch.
I'll double check, but the hook implementation looks correct and I
can't see any other obvious unsanitised physical accesses so it should
be ok. I'll send them out today if I don't find any issues.
Thanks!
Alistair
