  The RISC-V port has always required that lazily bound functions are
compatible with the standard calling convention, so document that
behavior explicitly.

There was a long-outstading bug against the psABI that was recently
resolved to a different conclusion thus putting us at odds with the
spec.  There's an on-going discussion about how we're going to handle
that divergence, but regardless of which direction that goes we're still
in this spot now so we might as well document it.
