[Impact]

The image for the StarFive VisionFive and the Nezha boards will be available in 22.04.1: in order to be able to boot using UEFI, we need flash-kernel to install the DTBs to the right location for GRUB to load, so we need to add those boards to the flash-kernel database.

[Test Plan]

I tested the version that built here [1] on the VisionFive board, and flash-kernel worked correctly:

[Where problems could occur]

The changes are board-specific so it should not alter the behaviour on other boards and unfortunately, I tried flash-kernel on a non-working kernel as the kernel team is still working on it, but the changes are straightforward enough.

[Other Info]

I added support for the LicheeRV board although not officially supported, but as it works well with our current kernel, we'd better have it available.
Note that I think we can drop the ~22.04.1 suffix and move to 3.104ubuntu11 as @waveform has just uploaded 3.106ubuntu1 into kinetic.
