[PATCH 1/2] riscv: Don't use PGD entries for the linear mapping

From: Alexandre Ghiti
Date: Fri Oct 06 2023 - 05:30:42 EST


Propagating changes at this level is cumbersome as we need to go through
all the page tables when that happens (either when changing the
permissions or when splitting the mapping).

Note that this prevents the use of 4MB mapping for sv32 and 1GB mapping for
sv39 in the linear mapping.
