Yes, that commit was surprising. I also thought it would have been one
of the previous "alternatives" commits. But I tested them all, and the
warning only appears with the "add RISC-V Svpbmt extension support"
commit. In other words, "git checkout 100631b" works fine, but "git
checkout ff689fd" does not.

I have these settings in my .config:

CONFIG_ERRATA_SIFIVE=y
CONFIG_ERRATA_SIFIVE_CIP_453=y
CONFIG_ERRATA_SIFIVE_CIP_1200=y

CONFIG_RISCV_ALTERNATIVE=y

I've uploaded the complete .config file here:

https://www.w6rz.net/config-5.19-rc1

It's based on a modified version of the Ubuntu 22.04 config file.

Linux 5.18 (including 5.18.2) is fine (with the same .config).

You can also find me on irc.libera.chat #riscv with nick drmpeg.

Ron
