The ISA doesn't allow bare mappings to be cached, as the caches are
translations and bare mppings are not translated.  We cache these
translations in QEMU in order to utilize the TLB code, but that leaks
out to the guest.

Suggested-by: phantom@zju.edu.cn # no name in the From field
Fixes: 1e0d985fa9 ("target/riscv: Only flush TLB if SATP.ASID changes")
Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>

---

Another way to fix this would be to utilize a MMU index that cooresponds
to no ASID to hold these direct mappings, but given that we're not
currently taking advantage of ASIDs for translation performance that
would be a larger chunk of work.  This causes a Linux boot regression,
so the band-aid seems appropriate.

I think the original version of this was also more broadly broken, in
that changing to ASID 0 would allow old mappings, but I might be missing
something there.  I seem to remember ASID 0 as having been special at
some point, but it's not in the ISA as it stands so maybe I'm just
crazy.

This, when applied on top of Alistair's riscv-to-apply.next, boots my
for-next (which is very close to Linus' master).
