Nope. This is only reproducible in RISC-V Fedora Gnome desktop image on
a HiFive Unleashed + Microsemi Expansion. Just to clarify, there is no
issue with OpenEmbedded disk image related to memory layout. It was a
userspace thing.
Unforunately, fedora builders do not build gnome images now and the one
I am using is very old (~ 1 year). I think I can just use the sysctl
parameter for now in my tree and live with it until we have Fedora 31
images availale. We can revisit the problem after that. Thanks for
suggestions.
