[PATCH v5 0/4] Add Svade and Svadu Extensions Support

Svade and Svadu extensions represent two schemes for managing the PTE A/D
bit. When the PTE A/D bits need to be set, Svade extension intdicates that
a related page fault will be raised. In contrast, the Svadu extension
supports hardware updating of PTE A/D bits. This series enables Svade and
Svadu extensions for both host and guest OS.

Regrading the mailing thread[1], we have 4 possible combinations of
these extensions in the device tree, the default hardware behavior for
these possibilities are:

1. Neither svade nor svadu in DT: default to svade.
2. Only svade in DT: use svade.
3. Only svadu in DT: use svadu.
4. Both svade and svadu in DT: default to svade.

The Svade extension is mandatory and the Svadu extension is optional in
RVA23 profile. Platforms want to take the advantage of Svadu can choose
3. Those are aware of the profile can choose 4, and Linux won't get the
benefit of svadu until the SBI FWFT extension is available.
