Add 2 early command line parameters that allow to downgrade satp mode (using the same naming as x86): - "no5lvl": use a 4-level page table (down from sv57 to sv48) - "no4lvl": use a 3-level page table (down from sv57/sv48 to sv39) Note that going through the device tree to get the kernel command line works with ACPI too since the efi stub creates a device tree anyway with the command line. In KASAN kernels, we can't use the libfdt that early in the boot process since we are not ready to execute instrumented functions. So instead of using the "generic" libfdt, we compile our own versions of those functions that are not instrumented and that are prefixed so that they do not conflict with the generic ones. We also need the non-instrumented versions of the string functions and the prefixed versions of memcpy/memmove. This is largely inspired by commit |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
