Also it was added explanation about ignoring of top VA bits

Changes in V7:
 - Fix range of frametable range in RV64 layout.
 - Add ifdef SV39 to the RV64 layout comment to make it explicit that
   description if for SV39 mode.
 - Add missed row in the RV64 layout table.
---
Changes in V6:
 - update comment above the RISCV-64 layout table
 - add Slot column to the table with RISCV-64 Layout
 - update RV-64 layout table.
---
Changes in V5:
* the patch was introduced in the current patch series.

I did point you at x86'es similar #ifdef. Unlike here, there we use a
symbol which actually has a meaning, allowing to spot this comment in
e.g. grep output when looking for uses of that symbol. Hence here e.g.

#ifdef RV_STAGE1_MODE == SATP_MODE_SV39

? (I would also recommend to use the same style as x86 does, such that
the #ifdef and #endif look like normal directives [e.g. again in grep
output], leaving aside that they're inside a comment.)

The upper bound here is 0000007f80000000 afaict, which then also makes
the earlier gap 1Gb in size.

It would be better. Thanks.

It should be 0000007f80000000. 0000007f40000000 is start address of 509
slot.

do you mean that it is better to write start and end address (
0000007f80000000 - 7FC0000000 ) of L2 510 slot explicitly?

No, not really. The ... there is quite okay imo, because of the differing
upper bits. I was merely pointing out that as you had it the gap was 2Gb
(from 0000007f40000000 till FFFFFFFFC0000000, leaving aside the ignored
upper bits).
