[v5,00/14] riscv: support for svpbmt and D1 memory types

Message

So this is my try at implementing svpbmt (and the diverging D1 memory
types using the alternatives framework).

This includes a number of changes to the alternatives mechanism itself.
The biggest one being the move to a more central location, as I expect
in the future, nearly every chip needing some sort of patching, be it
either for erratas or for optional features (svpbmt or others).

The dt-binding for svpbmt itself is of course not finished and is still
using the binding introduced in previous versions, as where to put
a svpbmt-property in the devicetree is still under dicussion.
Atish seems to be working on a framework for extensions [0],

The series also introduces support for the memory types of the D1
which are implemented differently to svpbmt. But when patching anyway
it's pretty clean to add the D1 variant via ALTERNATIVE_2 to the same
location.

The only slightly bigger difference is that the "normal" type is not 0
as with svpbmt, so kernel patches for this PMA type need to be applied
even before the MMU is brought up, so the series introduces a separate
stage for that.


In theory this series is 3 parts:
- sbi cache-flush / null-ptr
- alternatives improvements
- svpbmt+d1

So expecially patches from the first 2 areas could be applied when
deemed ready, I just thought to keep it together to show-case where
the end-goal is and not requiring jumping between different series.


The sbi cache-flush patch is based on Atish's sparse-hartid patch [1],
as it touches a similar area in mm/cacheflush.c


I picked the recipient list from the previous version, hopefully
I didn't forget anybody.

Please spell out what it does.  While I can remember the original single
letter extensions very well, the new priviliged extension naming is
just letter salad.

You might also want to explain in more detail what it does and why you
want to support it.
