Research direction
Start by reviewing the cpuinfo repository's existing architecture support and identify the entry points needed for RISC-V64, including the QEMU-emulated case mentioned in the issue. Done means the library recognizes and reports RISC-V and RISC-V64 consistently with its existing supported architectures, with appropriate coverage added where the repository's current tests require it.
