Would you please move the below SPL_XIP to arch/riscv/Kconfig and
aside the CONFIG_XIP.
Since hart_lottery and available_harts_lock only be used by RISC-V currently.

And also please help to change CONFIG_XIP to CONFIG_SPL_XIP in the
following defconfig, or the behavior will be unexpected for AE350.
./ae350_rv64_spl_xip_defconfig:CONFIG_XIP=y
./ae350_rv32_spl_xip_defconfig:CONFIG_XIP=y

Other looks great for me.

Thanks,
Rick
