Last time Andrew said this erratum would be published but did not give
a name of whom from SiFive in charge ..

Yep, this undocumented erratum was initially discovered during our
VxWorks RISC-V port.

The issue is not just about gigapages. Using megapages also could
trigger this issue.

To me this erratum seems like: if any PTEs are set up to overlap with
PMP protected memory, FU540 will trigger an instruction access
exception as soon as SATP is written.

I believe Microchip PolarFire SoC suffers this same erratum but I did
not verify that. Currently PMP is configured to protect the eNVM range
on PolarFire, and this range is not mapped by any PTE yet in S-mode.
