[PATCH 3/3] riscv: Allow disabling of BUILTIN_DTB for XIP

From: Frederik Haxel
Date: Tue Dec 12 2023 - 08:17:37 EST


This enables, among other things, testing with the QEMU virt machine.

To build an XIP kernel for the QEMU virt machine, configure the
the kernel as desired and apply the following configuration
```
CONFIG_NONPORTABLE=y
CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_XIP_PHYS_ADDR=0x20000000
CONFIG_PHYS_RAM_BASE=0x80200000
CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB=n
```

Since the QEMU virt flash memory expects a 32 MB file, the built image
must be padded. For example, with
`truncate -s 32M arch/riscv/boot/xipImage`

The kernel can be started using the following command in QEMU (v8+)
```
qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt,pflash0=pflash0 \
-blockdev node-name=pflash0,driver=file,read-only=on,\
filename=arch/riscv/boot/xipImage <optional parameters>
```
