Subject[PATCH] riscv: avoid enabling vectorized code generation
From
The compiler is free to generate vectorized operations for zero'ing
memory. The kernel does not use the vector unit on RISCV, similar to
architectures such as x86 where we use `-mno-mmx` et al to prevent the
implicit vectorization. Perform a similar check for
`-mno-implicit-float` to avoid this on RISC-V targets.
