riscv: Improve sbi_ecall() code generation by reordering arguments
The sbi_ecall() function arguments are not in the same order as the
ecall arguments, so we end up re-ordering the registers before the
ecall which is useless and costly.

So simply reorder the arguments in the same way as expected by ecall.
Instead of reordering directly the arguments of sbi_ecall(), use a proxy
macro since the current ordering is more natural.

Before:

Dump of assembler code for function sbi_ecall:
   0xffffffff800085e0 <+0>: add sp,sp,-32
   0xffffffff800085e2 <+2>: sd s0,24(sp)
   0xffffffff800085e4 <+4>: mv t1,a0
   0xffffffff800085e6 <+6>: add s0,sp,32
   0xffffffff800085e8 <+8>: mv t3,a1
   0xffffffff800085ea <+10>: mv a0,a2
   0xffffffff800085ec <+12>: mv a1,a3
   0xffffffff800085ee <+14>: mv a2,a4
   0xffffffff800085f0 <+16>: mv a3,a5
   0xffffffff800085f2 <+18>: mv a4,a6
   0xffffffff800085f4 <+20>: mv a5,a7
   0xffffffff800085f6 <+22>: mv a6,t3
   0xffffffff800085f8 <+24>: mv a7,t1
   0xffffffff800085fa <+26>: ecall
   0xffffffff800085fe <+30>: ld s0,24(sp)
   0xffffffff80008600 <+32>: add sp,sp,32
   0xffffffff80008602 <+34>: ret

After:

Dump of assembler code for function __sbi_ecall:
   0xffffffff8000b6b2 <+0>:	add	sp,sp,-32
   0xffffffff8000b6b4 <+2>:	sd	s0,24(sp)
   0xffffffff8000b6b6 <+4>:	add	s0,sp,32
   0xffffffff8000b6b8 <+6>:	ecall
   0xffffffff8000b6bc <+10>:	ld	s0,24(sp)
   0xffffffff8000b6be <+12>:	add	sp,sp,32
   0xffffffff8000b6c0 <+14>:	ret

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
