[RFC PATCH v3 3/6] lib: sbi: riscv_asm: support reserved PMP allocator

Sun Nov 30 03:16:40 PST 2025


Add reserved PMP entry allocation and management functions to enable
dynamic allocation of high-priority PMP entries. The allocator uses
per-hart bitmaps stored in scratch space to track reserved PMP usage.

New functions:
- reserved_pmp_init(): Initialize allocator scratch space
- reserved_pmp_alloc(): Allocate unused reserved PMP entry
- reserved_pmp_free(): Release allocated PMP entry

The coldboot hart calls reserved_pmp_init() during sbi_hart_init()
to set up the tracking bitmaps for all harts.
