When THP is enabled, 4K pages are collapsed into a single huge
page using the generic pmdp_collapse_flush() which will further
use flush_tlb_range() to shoot-down stale TLB entries. Unfortunately,
the generic pmdp_collapse_flush() only invalidates cached leaf PTEs
using address specific SFENCEs which results in repetitive (or
unpredictable) page faults on RISC-V implementations which cache
non-leaf PTEs.
Provide a RISC-V specific pmdp_collapse_flush() which ensures both
cached leaf and non-leaf PTEs are invalidated by using non-address
specific SFENCEs as recommended by the RISC-V privileged specification.

This sets the HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP option, and defines the required page
table functions. With this feature, ioremap area will be mapped with
huge page granularity according to its actual size. This feature can be
disabled by kernel parameter "nohugeiomap".
