RISC-V: Stop relying on GCC's register allocator's hueristics

GCC allows users to hint to the register allocation that a variable should be
placed in a register by using a syntax along the lines of

    function(...) {
        register long in_REG __asm__("REG");
    }

We've abused this a bit throughout the RISC-V port to access fixed registers
directly as C variables.  In practice it's never going to blow up because GCC
isn't going to allocate these registers, but it's not a well defined syntax so
we really shouldn't be relying upon this.  Luckily there is a very similar but
well defined syntax that allows us to still access these registers directly as
C variables, which is to simply declare the register variables globally.  For
fixed variables this doesn't change the ABI.

LLVM disallows this ambiguous syntax, so this isn't just strictly a formatting
change.
