[PATCH] RISC-V: Change CALL macro to use ra as the temporary address register

[Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@dabbelt.com>]

From: Michael Clark <michaeljclark@mac.com>

e.g.

    1:  auipc ra, %pcrel_hi(symbol)
        jalr  ra, %pcrel_lo(1b)(ra)

The use of ra instead of t1 for address construction provides an
opportunity for a microarchitecture to elide the write of the
destination address, and instead read the target address as an
immediate spread across the fused auipc+jalr pair. The link
register ra in the jalr overwrites the target address temporary.

	* riscv-opc.c (riscv_opcodes> <call>: Use RA not T1 as a temporary
	register.
