From: Fu Wei <wefu at redhat.com>

This patch follows the  RISC-V standard Svpbmt extension in 
privilege spec to solve the non-coherent SOC DMA synchronization
issues.

The svpbmt PTE format:
| 63 | 62-61 | 60-8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0
  N     MT     RSW    D   A   G   U   X   W   R   V
        ^

Of the Reserved bits [63:54] in a leaf PTE, the bits [62:61] are used as
the MT (aka MemType) field. This field specifies one of three memory types
as shown in the following table:
MemType     RISC-V Description
----------  ------------------------------------------------
00 - PMA    Normal Cacheable, No change to implied PMA memory type
01 - NC     Non-cacheable, idempotent, weakly-ordered Main Memory
10 - IO     Non-cacheable, non-idempotent, strongly-ordered I/O memory
11 - Rsvd   Reserved for future standard use

The standard protection_map[] needn't be modified because the "PMA"
type keeps the highest bits zero.
And the whole modification is limited in the arch/riscv/* and using
a global variable(__svpbmt) as _PAGE_MASK/IO/NOCACHE for pgprot_noncached
(&writecombine) in pgtable.h. We also add _PAGE_CHG_MASK to filter
PFN than before.

Enable it in devicetree - (Add "riscv,svpbmt" in the mmu of cpu node)
 - mmu:
     riscv,svpmbt
