This series extends the number of reserved PMP entry.
The capabilities of the reserved PMP entries include:
- Highest priority
- Allow TOR mode for platform-specific use cases
- Can be consistent across domain context switches
- Allow runtime PMP allocation
A potential use case for reserved PMP entries is parsing gaps in
memory ports marked as PMA_UNSAFE [1] in device-tree. These gaps
may not be able to exactly covered by 1 or 2 NAPOT entries, so TOR
mode PMP can be allocated to save PMP usage. Besides, they don't
need reconfiguration across domains.
