Subject[PATCH v2] RISC-V: Add CONFIG_{NON,}PORTABLE
Date
From
From: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>

The RISC-V port has collected a handful of options that are
fundamentally non-portable. To prevent users from shooting themselves
in the foot, hide them all behind a config entry that explicitly calls
out that non-portable binaries may be produced.

Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>

Changes since v1:

* Fix a bunch of spelling mistakes.
* Move NONPORTABLE under the "Platform type" sub-heading.
* Fix the rv32i dependency.

+ help
+ RISC-V kernel binaries are compatible between all known systems
+ whenever possible, but there are some use cases that can only be
+ satisfied by configurations that result in kernel binaries that are
+ not portable between systems.
+
+ Selecting N does not guarantee kernels will be portable to all knows
+ systems. Selecting any of the options guarded by NONPORTABLE will
+ result in kernel binaries that are unlikely to be portable between
+ systems.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
