Currently, riscv has several extensions which may not be supported on all riscv platforms, for example, FPU and so on. To support unified kernel Image style, we need to check whether the feature is suportted or not. If the check sits at hot code path, the performance will be impacted a lot. static key can be used to solve the issue. In the past, FPU support has been converted to use static key mechanism. I believe we will have similar cases in the future.
