Subject: [PATCH V1 1/3] Revert "RISC-V: mark hibernation as nonportable"

This reverts commit ed309ce522185583b163bd0c74f0d9f299fe1826.

With the commit 3335068f8721 ("riscv: Use PUD/P4D/PGD pages for the
linear mapping") reverted, the MIN_MEMBLOCK_ADDR points the kernel
load address which was placed at a PMD boundary. And firmware always
correctly mark resident memory, or memory protected with PMP as
per the devicetree specification and/or the UEFI specification.

So those regions will not be mapped in the linear mapping and they
can be safely saved/restored by hibernation.
