This series adds OpenSBI support for the RISC-V SMMPT specification
sub-extensions - Smsdid (supervisor domain ID) and
Smmpt (supervisor domain memory protection).

Together these let M-mode firmware confine each supervisor domain to a
physical address space that is enforced in hardware, via a per domain
memory protection table (MPT) selected by the mmpt CSR.

Every supervisor domain gets its own MPT built from the memory regions
of its SBI domain. Per-region XWR permissions are derived from the
region's S/U access flags from SBI domain, so a region that does not have S/U
access is mapped as an deny instead of skipped.

The Root domain maps all physical memory, with the firmware region explicitly
denied to S-mode. Regions may be shared between domains, each side keeping
its own permissions.

Testing:
Booted Linux when Smmpt was active. The boot dump shows the expected per region
permissions. Also checked with a small self-test in Qemu which confirms the
firmware region denied and the kernel region permitted from S-mode.

The Qemu RISC-V Virt machine was used to test this. The new cli args
required to be passed to Qemu are -

./qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -M virt -cpu rv64,x-smsdid=true,x-smmpt=true

Please note that extra some logs in OpenSBI and Qemu are added for testing
which will be removed later.

Further Development:
This series add base infrastructure for Smsdid and Smmpt. Development
and testing with more then one Supervisor Domain. Extensive testing with
all the modes and other platform configurations.

v1 -> v2:
	1. Rebase to latest master
	2. Change probe order between mode and sdidlen.
	3. Add sbi_mpt_query_access() function.
	4. Formatting changes.
