[RFC PATCH 1/1] riscv: Add boot hartid to Device tree

Linux booting protocol mandates that register "a0" contains the hartid.
However, U-boot can not pass the hartid via a0 during EFI boot without
breaking the UEFI specification.

Add a DT node under chosen node to indicate the boot hartid. EFI stub
in Linux kernel will parse this node and pass it to the real kernel
in "a0" before jumping to it.
