Provides asm volatile wrappers for all NTL hint variants (P1, PALL, S1, ALL) defined by the Zihintntl extension. These hints request non-temporal caching behaviour for subsequent loads and stores. The new header falls under the existing riscv arch maintainers in MAINTAINERS, so no separate entry needed.
