Known issues

In v8.2.3 there's a build bug on riscv platform, causing the following error:
error: macro "KVM_RISCV_GET_TIMER" requires 4 arguments, but only 3 given
This is due to incomplete backport of a fix, - previous required changes in this area are missing. The following 3 changes are also needed (all are included in v8.2.4 stable release):
- bbdcc89678da target/riscv/kvm: change KVM_REG_RISCV_FP_F to u32
- 125b95d79e74 target/riscv/kvm: change KVM_REG_RISCV_FP_D to u64
- cbae1080988e target/riscv/kvm: change timer regs size to u64
