Hart isolation configuration failure (error -3) with OpenSBI 1.8 on QEMU 10.1.3 rva22s64/rva23s64 profiles

[Thomas Perrot]

Hello,

Happy New Year!

I'm facing a hart isolation configuration error when running OpenSBI
1.8 on QEMU 10.1.3 with the RISC-V application profiles rva22s64 and
rva23s64:

    init_coldboot: hart isolation configure failed (error -3)

No issue occurs when using the rv64 profile. The system continues to
boot after the error, but I'd like to understand the root cause.

I haven't tested OpenSBI 1.8 on real hardware yet - that's my next
step.

Is there a known QEMU issue? Is there a recommended workaround besides
using rv64?

Below is the complete trace:
