The current K: entry in the "SIFIVE DRIVERS" section causes

list:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/CABEDWGxKCqCq2HBU8u1-=QgmMCdb69oXxN5rz65nxNODxdCAnw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This is undesirable, since not all of these patches may be relevant to
the linux-riscv@ mailing list. Fix by excluding K: matches that look
like a sifive.com E-mail address.

Based on the following patch from Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@xxxxxxxxxx>:
