I've created https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc/pull/164 for
the spec side of things. For v2 of this patch I think it's best to
change sbi_domain_check_addr_range() to return an error rather than a
boolean and then for cases like hi != 0 and lo + size > max-lo we can
return errors other than SBI_ERR_INVALID_ADDR without having to duplicate
checks which are currently outside the function.
