Subject: [RFC PATCH 11/12] riscv: Explicit comment about user virtual address space size
Date: Mon,  4 Jan 2021 14:58:39 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210104195840.1593-12-alex@ghiti.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210104195840.1593-1-alex@ghiti.fr>

Define precisely the size of the user accessible virtual space size
for sv32/39/48 mmu types and explain why the whole virtual address
space is split into 2 equal chunks between kernel and user space.
