The status and mstatus CSRs contain bit field FS, which control if the
floating point unit of RISC-V hart is enabled.

There seems to be no specification prescribing the value of the field when
entering S-mode from M-mode. But OpenSBI, as the leading SBI M-mode
firmware, has set a precedent by enabling the FPU by setting the value of
FS to 3 (dirty).

In TCG mode, QEMU uses OpenSBI by default. Users can reasonably expect that
software running QEMU in TCG mode and in KVM mode behaves similarly.

When QEMU in KVM mode creates a vCPU, Linux' KVM code sets FS=1 (initial)
in kvm_riscv_vcpu_fp_reset(). However, QEMU internally keeps a value of
FS=0 (off) and then synchronizes this value into KVM. Thus VS-mode software
is invoked with a disabled floating point unit.

One example of software being impacted is EDK II with TLS enabled. It
crashes when hitting the first floating point instruction while running
QEMU with --accel kvm, and runs fine with --accel tcg.

With this patch the FPU will be enabled when entering S-mode in KVM mode
and when entering M-mode in TCG mode.

This suggests that qemu is incorrectly syncing the registers from kvm at vcpu startup.

Storing misa_mxl here is wrong.  That's '1' for rv32 and '2' for rv64.
You want a single constant value, either '1' (initial) or '2' (clean).
 From the kvm source, initial seems preferable.
