Sigh, you're right. It's been manually cherry-picked from another tree.

Make it actually build.

Looks good. Presumably this passed basic testing in CheriBSD?

Yes, it passed our basic CI testing (boot to multiuser, SSH in, run our own cheri(abi)test unit test programs and run the cat kyua tests).

NB: arm and arm64 are the same as riscv currently is, so if we're changing riscv we should really make the same change to those two ports too.
