We're getting ready to use riscv_cpu_validate_set_extensions() to unify
the handling of write_misa() with the rest of the code base. But first
we need to deal with RVG.

The 'G' virtual extension enables a set of extensions in the CPU. At
this moment, this is done at the start of our validation step in
riscv_cpu_validate_set_extensions(). This means that enabling G will
enable other extensions in the CPU before resuming the validation.

This also means that, in case a write_misa() validation fails, we're
going to set cpu->cfg attributes that are unrelated to misa_ext bits
(icsr and ifencei). These would be 2 extra states that we would need to
store to fallback from a validation failure.

Since write_misa() is still on experimental state let's make our lives
easier for now and disable RVG updates.

'val & G' is not equal  "Changing 'G'" .
