This patchset allows to have a single kernel for sv39 and sv48 without
being relocatable.
The idea comes from Arnd Bergmann who suggested to do the same as x86,
that is mapping the kernel to the end of the address space, which allows
the kernel to be linked at the same address for both sv39 and sv48 and
then does not require to be relocated at runtime.
This implements sv48 support at runtime. The kernel will try to
boot with 4-level page table and will fallback to 3-level if the HW does not
support it. Folding the 4th level into a 3-level page table has almost no
cost at runtime.
Tested on:
   - qemu rv64 sv39: OK
   - qemu rv64 sv48: OK
   - qemu rv64 sv39 + kasan: OK
   - qemu rv64 sv48 + kasan: OK
   - qemu rv32: OK
   - Unmatched: OK
On a beagleV (which supports only sv39) I've tested both the limit via
the mmu-type in the devicetree and also that the fallback works when
I disable the mmu-type in the dt, so

Thanks Heiko for testing this, unfortunately I could not add this tag to the latest version as significant changes came up.

Thanks again for taking the time to test this,

Alex
