Bug Description

[Impact]
 * riscv64 builds fail completely, so users on that architecture can't use ZFS.

[Test Plan]
 * Build zfs-linux on target architecture. No test failure is expected.

[Where problems could occur]
 * Test failures and bugs that are exclusive to RISCV64 might show up

[Other Info]
 * Upstream introduced support riscv64 with 4254e407294b
 * Builds succeed on Jammy and newer, Focal is missing the enablement patch

[Original Description]

Note that the riscv64 patch is also missing from Focal (20.04), and the package also fails to build there. Upstream included initial support in zfs-2.0.0, so newer Ubuntu releases should have it by default:

$ git describe --contains 4254e407294b211f3399da2ee131b45fe9f4ac80
zfs-2.0.0-rc1~665

Thank you for the patch, xypron! A few comments on your debdiff:

I don't see the Bug-Ubuntu: tag in the patch, could you please add it so it's DEP-3 compliant?
Looking at the Origin: tag, it's also not clear whether the patch is a clean cherry-pick or needed to be backported with some changes. Could you please add the "upstream" or "backport" tag before the URL there? Thanks!

Unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors, please subscribe them back once the requested changes are made. Also if you want that uploaded to focal the bug description needs to be compliant with what is described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure

Bionic is EoL, if RISC-V support is needed there we'll need to target Pro 18.04.

I would suggest not to invest in enabling a new feature in Focal now that we have two newer LTS releases. Setting to won't fix.
