Description of problem:
Booting Linux With RiscVVirtQemu edk2 firmware, a Store/AMO page fault was trapped to trigger a kernel panic.
The entire log has been posted at this link : https://termbin.com/nga4.
You can reproduce it with the following step :
1. prepare the environment with
- Qemu-virt: v8.0.0 (with OpenSbi v1.2)
- edk2 : at commit (2bc8545883 "UefiCpuPkg/CpuPageTableLib: Reduce the number of random tests")
- Linux : v6.4-rc1 and later version
2. start the Qemu virt board
```sh
$ cat ~/8_riscv/start_latest.sh
#!/bin/bash
/home/song/8_riscv/3_acpi/qemu/ooo/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-riscv64 \
-s -nographic -drive file=/home/song/8_riscv/3_acpi/Build_virt/RiscVVirtQemu/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/RISCV_VIRT.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1 \
-machine virt,acpi=off -smp 2 -m 2G \
-kernel /home/song/9_linux/linux/00_rv_def/arch/riscv/boot/Image \
-initrd /home/song/8_riscv/3_acpi/buildroot/output/images/rootfs.ext2 \
-append "root=/dev/ram ro console=ttyS0 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0x10000000 efi=debug loglevel=8 memblock=debug" ## also panic by memtest
```
3. Then you will encounter the kernel panic logged in the above link
Other Information:
1. -------
This report is not identical to my prior report -- "kernel paniced when system hibernates" [1], but both of them
are closely related with the commit (3335068f8721 "riscv: Use PUD/P4D/PGD pages for the linear mapping").
With this commit, hibernation is trapped with "access fault" while accessing the PMP-protected regions (mmode_resv0 at 80000000)
from OpenSbi (BTW, hibernation is marked as nonportable by Conor[2]).
In this report, efi_init handoffs the memory mapping from Boot Services to memblock where reserves mmode_resv0 at 80000000,
so there is no "access fault" but "page fault".
And reverting commit 3335068f8721 indeed fixed this panic.
2. -------
As the gdb-pt-dump [3] tool shows, the PTE which covered the fault virtual address had the appropriate permission to store.
Is there another way to trigger the "Store/AMO page fault"? Or the creation of linear mapping in commit 3335068f8721 did something wrong?

```
3. ------
You can also reproduce similar panic by appending "memtest" in kernel cmdline.
I have posted the memtest boot log at this link: https://termbin.com/1twl.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
