sbi_get_mvendorid(), sbi_get_marchid() and sbi_get_mimpid() might get called multiple times, though the values of these CSRs should not change during the runtime of a specific machine. Though the values can be different depending on which hart of the system they get called. So hook into the newly introduced cpuinfo struct to allow retrieving these cached values via new functions. Also use arch_initcall for the cpuinfo setup instead, as that now clearly is "architecture specific initialization" and also makes these information available slightly earlier.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
