We're getting ready to use riscv_cpu_validate_set_extensions() to unify the handling of write_misa() with the rest of the code base. But first we need to deal with RVG.
The 'G' virtual extension enables a set of extensions in the CPU. At this moment, this is done at the start of our validation step in riscv_cpu_validate_set_extensions(). This means that enabling G will enable other extensions in the CPU before resuming the validation. This also means that, in case a write_misa() validation fails, we're going to set cpu->cfg attributes that are unrelated to misa_ext bits (icsr and ifencei). These would be 2 extra states that we would need to store to fallback from a validation failure. Since write_misa() is still on experimental state let's make our lives easier for now and disable RVG updates.
