[PATCH v1 0/7] riscv: add Svnapot-based contiguous PTE support

Hi,

First of all, thanks to Ryan Roberts for the work on mTHP and
Contiguous PTE support on arm64. That work provides a very useful
reference for reducing page fault overhead and TLB pressure for
large but still PTE-mapped memory ranges.

This series adds Svnapot-based contiguous PTE support for RISC-V.

To achieve similar benefits on RISC-V, this series introduces a
Contiguous-PTE-like mechanism built on top of the Svnapot extension.
The intent is to preserve the core-MM PTE semantics while allowing
RISC-V to transparently fold eligible base-page mappings into
Svnapot-encoded contiguous mappings when possible.

The series splits the low-level raw PTE helpers from the public
core-MM-facing PTE helpers, so that:

-the __xxx helpers expose the raw hardware PTE encoding,
-the xxx helpers provide the semantic view expected by core MM,
-and Svnapot-aware handling is centralized in the public wrapper layer.

Performance results:

-Compared with the native 4K base-page setup, the mTHP + PTE fold
scheme improves overall SPEC CPU performance by about 2%.
-The native 4K page setup shows higher memory access latency, and its
memory read latency is about 12% higher than this scheme.
