[PATCH 00/11] riscv: Memory type control for platforms with physical memory aliases

[Samuel Holland]

On some RISC-V platforms, including StarFive JH7100 and ESWIN EIC7700,
RAM is mapped to multiple physical address ranges, with each alias
having a different set of statically-determined Physical Memory
Attributes (PMAs). Software selects the PMAs for a page by choosing a
PFN from the corresponding physical address range. On these platforms,
this is the only way to allocate noncached memory for use with
noncoherent DMA.

 - Patch 1 adds a new binding to describe physical memory regions in
   the devicetree.
 - Patches 2-6 refactor existing memory type support to be modeled as
   variants on top of Svpbmt.
 - Patches 7-10 add logic to transform the PFN to use the desired alias
   when reading/writing page tables.
 - Patch 11 enables this new method of memory type control on JH7100.

I have boot-tested this series on platforms with each of the 4 ways to
select a memory type: SiFive FU740 (none), QEMU (Svpbmt), Allwinner D1
(XTheadMae), and ESWIN EIC7700 (aliases).
