Do you have the PLIC patches? They'll be necessary to make this all work, and
there's a v4 out now that when combined with for-next should get you to
userspace.

Also, what is your methodology? I follow

https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/RISCV

and could could natively compile and run hello world with an earlier version of
Christoph's patch set, which is really only cosmetically different than the v4.
I use qemu's master branch as well, which when I tried was exactly 3.0.0-rc3.
