Add kernel_vstate to keep track of kernel-mode Vector registers when trap introduced context switch happens. Also, provide riscv_v_flags to let context save/restore routine track context status. Context tracking happens whenever the core starts its in-kernel Vector executions. An active (dirty) kernel task's V contexts will be saved to memory whenever a trap-introduced context switch happens. Or, when a softirq, which happens to nest on top of it, uses Vector. Context retoring happens when the execution transfer back to the original Kernel context where it first enable preempt_v. Also, provide a config CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V_PREEMPTIVE to give users an option to disable preemptible kernel-mode Vector at build time. Users with constraint memory may want to disable this config as preemptible kernel-mode Vector needs extra space for tracking of per thread's kernel-mode V context. Or, users might as well want to disable it if all kernel-mode Vector code is time sensitive and cannot tolerate context switch overhead.

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 Restructured Text 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.
