The hypervisor specification support hfence calls which can be used
issue tlb flush requests at both level of address translation. Currently,
these requests are issued only via SBI which are defined in v0.2.

Currently, the tlb range flush threshold is fixed and set to 4k for
all platforms. However, it should be platform specific as it completely
depends upon how platform actually implements sfence instruction.
Define a platform feature that allows every individual platform to set
different values. If a platform doesn't define it, just use a page size as
the threshold.

Currently, we upgrade to a full tlb flush only If a tlb flush request
size is greater than the threshold. This is done as sfence in RISC-V
can only flush 4KB at a time. Doing a large number of flushes page by
page impacts the performance. It is better to do a full tlbflush if the
request size is at least equal to the threshold size.

Linux kernel expects tlb flush SBI call to be completely synchronous i.e.
the SBI call should only return once corresponding *fence* instruction is
executed.
OpenSBI manages the outstanding TLB flush requests by keeping them in a
per hart based fifo. However, there are few corner cases that may lead to
race conditions while updating the fifo.
Currently, the caller hart waits for IPI acknowledgement via clint
address which is not a very good method as synchronization on MMIO may not
be supported in every platform. Moreover, the waiter doesn't have any way of
identifying if the IPI is received for specific tlb flush request or any
other IPI. This may lead to unpredictable behavior in supervisor/user space.
Fix this by waiting on individual fifo entries rather than MMIO address.
Currently, a relaxed loop is being used because wfi again involves MMIO write
which would be slower compared to relaxed loop. To avoid deadlock, fifo
is processed every time a hart loops for fifo enqueue or fifo sync to consume
the tlb flush requests sent by other harts.

In order to prevent a possible null pointer dereference, return early if
either one of 'in' or 'data' is null.

All string functions are part of libsbi. It makes more sense
to rename them to sbi_string.x as the libsbi can be linked
with external libraries that can have similar implementation.

libsbi needs some of the custom libc functions. It should be directly
included in libsbi instead of platform specific libraries.
