Svnapot is a RISC-V extension for marking contiguous 4K pages as a non-4K
page. This patch set is for using Svnapot in Linux Kernel's boot process
and hugetlb fs.

This patchset adds a Kconfig item for using Svnapot in
"Platform type"->"SVNAPOT extension support". Its default value is off,
and people can set it on if they allow kernel to detect Svnapot hardware
support and leverage it.

Tested on:
  - qemu rv64 with "Svnapot support" off and svnapot=true.
  - qemu rv64 with "Svnapot support" on and svnapot=true.
  - qemu rv64 with "Svnapot support" off and svnapot=false.
  - qemu rv64 with "Svnapot support" on and svnapot=false.


Changes in v2:
  - detect Svnapot hardware support at boot time.
Changes in v3:
  - do linear mapping again if has_svnapot
Changes in v4:
  - fix some errors/warns reported by checkpatch.pl, thanks @Conor
Changes in v5:
  - modify code according to @Conor and @Heiko
Changes in v6:
  - use static key insead of alternative errata


Qinglin Pan (4):
  riscv: mm: modify pte format for Svnapot
  riscv: mm: support Svnapot in physical page linear-mapping
  riscv: mm: support Svnapot in hugetlb page
  riscv: mm: support Svnapot in huge vmap
