Subject[PATCH v4 0/1] riscv: Allow to downgrade paging mode from the command line
Date
This new version gets rid of the limitation that prevented KASAN kernels
to use the newly introduced parameters.

While looking into KASLR, I fell onto commit aacd149b6238 ("arm64: head:
avoid relocating the kernel twice for KASLR"): it allows to use the fdt
functions very early in the boot process with KASAN enabled by simply
compiling a new version of those functions without instrumentation.

I had to change the handling of the command line parsing to make the
code self-contained in kernel/pi/cmd_early.c to avoid calling too many
__pi prefixed functions from outside this file.

I'll use this approach like arm64 to handle the extraction of the random
seedi from the device tree for KASLR.

@Ard: I copied the "pi" name but I have to admit I don't know what it
means.
