per_cpu_ptr() never returns NULL, so this check can be removed.

The ABI takes lower and upper XLEN bits instead of fixed 32 bits, so 
this will break on an XLEN == 64 system and a physical address >= 4GiB.

#if __riscv_xlen == 64
#define MEM_HI(_m)    0UL
#define MEM_LO(_m)    (unsigned long)(_m)
#elif __riscv_xlen == 32
#define MEM_HI(_m)    (unsigned long)upper_32_bits(_m)
#define MEM_LO(_m)    (unsigned long)lower_32_bits(_m)
#else
#error "Unknown __riscv_xlen"
#endif

Kind regards,
