cpu specific kernel call

[Martin Stein]

Hi Michael,

I'm not that much into the discussion, but I assume you are using the
base-hw kernel. In this kernel, public kernel calls (allowed in
userland) are located in [1]. If you don't have more than 5 arguments
and 1 return value to your call, you can simply use the same generic
'Kernel::call' function as in the other kernel calls. The RISCV back end
of this is located in [2] with the most interesting part being the
CALL_1_SWI define.

Does this help?

Cheers,
Martin
