Subject: [PATCH v8 0/4] RISC-V: mm: Make SV48 the default address space

Make sv48 the default address space for mmap as some applications
currently depend on this assumption. Users can now select a
desired address space using a non-zero hint address to mmap. Previously,
requesting the default address space from mmap by passing zero as the hint
address would result in using the largest address space possible. Some
applications depend on empty bits in the virtual address space, like Go and
Java, so this patch provides more flexibility for application developers.

v8:
- Fix RV32 and the RV32 compat mode of RV64
- Extract out addr and base from the mmap macros
v7:
- Changing RLIMIT_STACK inside of an executing program does not trigger
  arch_pick_mmap_layout(), so rewrite tests to change RLIMIT_STACK from a
  script before executing tests. RLIMIT_STACK of infinity forces bottomup
  mmap allocation.
- Make arch_get_mmap_base macro more readible by extracting out the rnd
  calculation.
- Use MMAP_MIN_VA_BITS in TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE to support case when mmap
  attempts to allocate address smaller than DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW.
- Fix incorrect wording in documentation.

v6:
- Rebase onto the correct base

v5:
- Minor wording change in documentation
- Change some parenthesis in arch_get_mmap_ macros
- Added case for addr==0 in arch_get_mmap_ because without this, programs would
  crash if RLIMIT_STACK was modified before executing the program. This was
  tested using the libhugetlbfs tests. 

v4:
- Split testcases/document patch into test cases, in-code documentation, and
  formal documentation patches
- Modified the mmap_base macro to be more legible and better represent memory
  layout
- Fixed documentation to better reflect the implmentation
- Renamed DEFAULT_VA_BITS to MMAP_VA_BITS
- Added additional test case for rlimit changes
