Hi Palmer

Alex's "Introduce sv48 support without relocatable kernel" patch series in [1] was partially merged to Linux v5.17. But there are 4 patches are not merged (Patch-10 to 13).

May I know what is the plan for these patches? Will them merged to next v5.19 merging window? Or do you expect any changes for these patches or Alex needs resend with rebase to latest kernel version?

Note, we would like to use the Patch-13 in this series.

Patches not merged:
[v3,10/13] riscv: Improve virtual kernel memory layout dump
[v3,11/13] Documentation: riscv: Add sv48 description to VM layout
[v3,12/13] riscv: Initialize thread pointer before calling C functions
[v3,13/13] riscv: Allow user to downgrade to sv39 when hw supports sv48 if !KASAN

Thanks.
