Fix hvip.VSEIP and hvip.VSTIP, so they don't observe platform-specific interrupts or CSR hgeip bits
The H extension defines that bits VSEIP, VSTIP, and VSSIP of hvip are
writable. (The other bits of hvip are read-only 0.) Only hip.VSSIP
(mip.VSSIP) is an alias of hvip.VSSIP. The hip.VSEIP is the logical-OR
of hvip.VSEIP, selected bit of hgeip by hstatus.VGEIN, and
platform-specific external interrupt signals to VS-level, e.g., from
AIA. The hip.VSTIP is the logical-OR of hvip.VSTIP and platform-specific
timer interrupt signals to VS-level, e.g., from Sstc. Thus, the read
values of hvip.VSEIP and hvip.VSTIP differ from the ones of hip.VSEIP
and hip.VSTIP (mip.VSEIP and mip.VSTIP). In other words, the hvip isn't
an alias (proxy) of mip.
The current aliasing (proxy) implementation does not provide the desired
behavior for hvip.VSEIP and hvip.VSTIP. An ISA-level behavior difference
is that any platform-specific external and timer interrupt signals
directed to VS-level should not be observable through the hvip. For
instance, the hvip should not observe the virtual timer interrupt signal
from the vstimecmp CSR (Sstc extension), which isn't true in the current
implementation. Additionally, the hvip should not observe the virtual
external interrupt signal from the IMSIC device (AIA extension).
Another ISA-level behavior difference is that the hgeip and
hstatus.VGEIN also should not affect hvip.VSEIP, which isn't true in the
current implementation.
This commit fixes the issue by giving the hvip a specialized class,
hvip_csr_t. The hvip_csr_t aliases the hvip.VSSIP to the mip.VSSIP but
decouples the hvip.VSEIP and hvip.VSTIP from mip.VSEIP and mip.VSTIP.
Additionally, the commit updates the read value of mip to be the
logical-OR of hvip.VSEIP, hvip.VSTIP, and other sources.
