[RFC PATCH 00/12] Introduce sv48 support without relocable kernel

[Alexandre Ghiti]

This patchset, contrary to the previous versions, allows to have a single        
kernel for sv39 and sv48 without being relocatable.                              
                                                                                 
The idea comes from Arnd Bergmann who suggested to do the same as x86,           
that is mapping the kernel to the end of the address space, which allows         
the kernel to be linked at the same address for both sv39 and sv48 and           
then does not require to be relocated at runtime.                                
                                                                                 
This is an RFC because I need to at least rebase a few commits and add           
documentation. The most interesting patches where I expect feedbacks are         
1/12, 2/12 and 8/12. Note that moving the kernel out of the linear
mapping and sv48 support can be separate patchsets, I share them together
today to show that it works (this patchset is rebased on top of v5.10). 

If we agree about the overall idea, I'll rebase my relocatable patchset
on top of that and then KASLR implementation from Zong will be greatly
simplified since moving the kernel out of the linear mapping will avoid
to copy the kernel physically. 
                                                                                 
This implements sv48 support at runtime. The kernel will try to                  
boot with 4-level page table and will fallback to 3-level if the HW does not     
support it. Folding the 4th level into a 3-level page table has almost no        
cost at runtime.                                                                 
                                                                                 
Finally, the user can now ask for sv39 explicitly by using the device-tree       
which will reduce memory footprint and reduce the number of memory accesses      
in case of TLB miss.
