nit: This would read better as "it sets sv57 by default and falls back
to setting sv48 at boot time if sv57 is not supported by the hardware".

The second part of this sentence I'm not really sure that that is true,
I think you should reword it to something like "...for qemu riscv64 and,
for example, is 0x200000 on the XuanTie 910 CPU." and avoid applying
that number blanketly for other SoCs.

You've already got a #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT above, is there a reason why
you'd use the IS_ENABLED here rather than merge this with the above
section? I'm a big fan of IS_ENABLED but I'm not sure what it adds here,
maybe you can show me the light :)

Thanks,
Conor.
