HAVE_MOVE_PUD enables remapping pages at the PUD level if both the source
and destination addresses are PUD-aligned.
HAVE_MOVE_PMD does similar speedup on the PMD level.

With HAVE_MOVE_PUD enabled, there is about a 143x improvement on qemu
With HAVE_MOVE_PMD enabled, there is about a 5x improvement on qemu

Hi all,

After reading the risc-v privileged spec, I think it's safe to support
the HAVE_MOVE_PUD and HAVE_MOVE_PMD optimization on riscv. The patch passed
the mremap_test on QEMU. However this can't be tested on real HW due to lack
of HW boards, this is the reason why I mark this patch as RFT. I hope I can
buy a sipeed Allwiner D1 SoC powered SBC soon, at least I can test
HAVE_MOVE_PMD. Helping me to test on real HW is appreciated!

Thanks
