The commit which added support for arm64 gave an explanation of why
SP_EL0 needed to be checked. Would be nice if you could do the same here
for RISC-V. See 526940e39626 ("scripts/gdb: add lx_current support for
arm64") for what I mean.

While you're at it, "scripts/gdb: add support for RISC-V" would appear
to be a more standard $subject for this file.

Thanks,
Conor.
