Ah, thank you so much. This is great! With this patch set applied on top of
rc7 I can boot QEMU master and get to the Fedora root file system. I'll review
the patch set properly, but at least for now I think a

Tested-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@sifive.com>

is warranted. What's the best way to go about merging this? There's quite a
bit of arch/riscv diff here so I don't mind taking it through the RISC-V tree,
but there's also some irqchip and clocksource stuff as well so I'm not sure if
that's OK to do.
