Machine privilege level was specially designed to use in vendor's
firmware or bootloader. We have implemented operation in machine
mode in FreeBSD as part of understanding RISC-V ISA, but it is time
to remove it.
We now use BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) -- standard RISC-V firmware,
which provides operation in machine mode for us.
We now use standard SBI calls to machine mode, instead of handmade
'syscalls'.
o Remove HTIF bus.
HTIF bus is now legacy and no longer exists in RISC-V specification.
HTIF code still exists in Spike simulator, but BBL do not provide
raw interface to it.
Memory disk is only choice for now to have multiuser booted in Spike,
until Spike has implemented more devices (e.g. Virtio, etc).

memory system.
RISC-V ISA has only single page table base register for both kernel
and user addresses translation. Before this commit we were using an
extra (4th) level of pagetables for switching between kernel and user
pagetables, but then realized FPGA hardware has 3-level page system
hardcoded. It is also become clear that the bitfile synthesized for
4-level system is untested/broken, so we can't use extra level for
switching.
We are now share level 1 of pagetables between kernel and user VA.
This requires to keep track of all the user pmaps created and once we
adding L1 page to kernel pmap we have to add it to all the user pmaps.
o Change the VM layout as we must have topmost bit to be 1 in the
selected page system for kernel addresses and 0 for user addresses.
o Implement pmap_kenter_device().
o Create the l3 tables for the early devmap.

o Implement growkernel bits for L1 level of pagetables.
This allows us to boot with 128GB of physical memory.

Tested on Spike simulator with 2 and 16 cores (tlb enabled),
so set MAXCPU to 16 at this time.
This uses FDT data to get information about CPUs
(code based on arm64 mp_machdep).
Invalidate entire TLB cache as it is the only way yet.

gp (global pointer) is used by compiler in userland only,
so re-use it for pcpup in kernel, save it on stack on switching
out to userland and load back on return to kernel.
