[PATCH v2 10/10] riscv: Allow user to downgrade to sv39 when hw supports sv48
From: Alexandre Ghiti
Date: Wed Sep 29 2021 - 11:02:05 EST
This is made possible by using the mmu-type property of the cpu node of
the device tree.
By default, the kernel will boot with 4-level page table if the hw supports
it but it can be interesting for the user to select 3-level page table as
it is less memory consuming and faster since it requires less memory
accesses in case of a TLB miss.
