Actually, "mmu-type" would be a good place because it's page based
memory attribute and paging can't exist without mmu translation mode.
Also, "svpmbt" is indeed a CPU property so has to be feature individual
CPU node. Hypothetically, a heterogeneous system is possible where
some CPUs have "svpmbt" and some CPUs don't have "svpmbt". For
example, a future FUxxx SoC might have a E-core and few S-cores
where S-cores have Svpmbt whereas E-core does not have Svpmbt
because it's an embedded core.
