SubjectRe: [PATCH v4 0/1] riscv: Allow to downgrade paging mode from the command line
From
Sorry, I forgot the changelog again:

|v4: - Remove the kasan limitation by compiling 'local' fdt functions,
as done in arm64 by Ard - Remove RB from Björn as the cmdline handling
changed v3: - Massage commit log to make no4lvl clearer, as asked by
Conor - Add a note to kernel-parameters.txt regarding the impossibility
to use those parameters when KASAN is enabled, as suggested by Conor -
Add RB from Björn v2: - Honor CMDLINE_EXTEND and CMDLINE_FORCE as
noticed by Björn|
