This patch series adds support for the RISC-V Worlds ISA extensions in
OpenSBI, introducing a WID-based hart protection backend to enforce
hardware isolation boundaries across domains.
Trust Model and Boot-time Roles
-------------------------------
The implementation adheres to the two-phase M-mode trust model:
- RoT M-mode phase: An earlier boot stage (e.g., ROM or SPL) may program
mwid and mlwidlist, locking mwid prior to handing off execution to
OpenSBI.
- Regular M-mode phase (OpenSBI): OpenSBI treats the non-ISA platform
constraints (pmwid, pmwidlist, pmlwidlist) and CSR states (mwid,
mlwidlist) as immutable input policies from the hardware/RoT. It locks
mwid if still unlocked, preventing subsequent M-mode software from
altering its own WID, and programs per-domain mlwid and mwiddeleg based
on device tree configuration.
Device Tree Bindings
--------------------
Per-hart properties defined in Linux kernel DT bindings v3 [1]:
- riscv,pmwid: M-mode World ID
- riscv,pmwidlist: M-mode permitted WID bitmap
- riscv,pmlwidlist: S-mode permitted WID bitmap
Per-domain properties (see docs/domain_support.md):
- wid: World ID assigned to this domain for S-mode
- widdeleg: WID delegation bitmap for this domain
