Yes. ISA profiles (like RVA22) and platform profiles[0].
RISC-V is in a much better position than ARM and x86 already, because this is well underway and the boot specs have been available for years now.
In ARM, there was too little, too late. Most vendors do not follow the relevant specs.
As for the PC, the platform became so by accident (IBM PC clones happened) and there's of course a serious amount of historical cruft.
