Subject: [PATCH 2/7] RISC-V: doc: Add file describing the virtual memory map

This file is similar to the x86_64 equivalent (in
Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt) and describes the virtuas address space
usage for RISC-V.

+
+The RISC-V architecture defines virtual address bits in multiples of nine
+starting from 39. These are referred to as Sv39, Sv48, Sv57 and Sv64.
+Currently only Sv39 is supported. Bits 63 through to the most-significant
+implemented bit are sign extended. This causes a hole between user space
+and kernel addresses if you interpret them as unsigned.
+
+The direct mapping covers as much of the physical memory space as
+possible so that it may cover some IO memory.
