I'd prefer this commit message get some elaboration. riscv_is_32bit()
is used in a variety of contexts, some where it should be reporting
the max misa.mxl. However, when used for booting an S-mode kernel it
should indeed report the effective mxl. I think we're fine with the
change, though, because at init and on reset the effective mxl is set
to the max mxl, so, in those contexts, where riscv_is_32bit() should
be reporting the max, it does.

Assuming everyone agrees with what I've written above, then maybe we
should write something similar in a comment above this function.

Thanks,
