Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* Some drivers are available on other architectures but not on RISC-V.
* Some things might work or look differently in RISC-V.
Eg. RISC-V has an additional terminal font enabled.
* The RISC-V kernel benefits less from testing done on other
architectures.
[Test Plan]
* Install the kernel on RISC-V and see what modules and features are
enabled.
* After aligning the RISC-V kernel config there should be fewer
differences to other architectures.
[Where problems could occur]
* Some options that are disabled on other architectures may be needed
on RISC-V.
* Some modules or features may be broken on RISC-V.
[Other Info]
* When RISC-V config and annotations were added to the generic kernel
the config was copied from the linux-riscv tree without modifications.
This revealed a lot of differences to the other architectures and many
of them were not annotated, so presumably the configs had just drifted
apart over time.
