Description
Could we add something like `-mattr=+m,-div` or `-mattr=+mul` to generate multiplication instructions but not division (and remainder, etc.) instructions?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the compiler's RISC-V feature handling and existing multiplication and division target options, then identify how the requested RV32IM-without-division behavior is tested. Done means the supported attribute combination generates multiplication instructions while excluding division and remainder instructions.
