[PATCH 4/4] riscv: Allow NOMMU kernels to run in S-mode

From: Samuel Holland
Date: Mon Feb 26 2024 - 19:37:41 EST


For ease of testing, it is convenient to run NOMMU kernels in supervisor
mode. The only required change is to offset the kernel load address,
since the beginning of RAM is usually reserved for M-mode firmware.
