riscv: smarter DMAP construction

Description

riscv: smarter DMAP construction

Currently we create the DMAP by mapping the entire range between the
smallest and largest physical memory addresses with L1 superpages. This
is obviously overkill, and we may end up mapping all kinds of ranges that
are not real memory.

In the case of the HiFive Unmatched (obsolete hardware), there is an
errata resulting in faults when a TLB mapping spans PMP (firmware)
protection regions. So, when our DMAP mapping spans into the memory
reserved by OpenSBI, we get a fatal fault. This highlights the need to
be smarter here.

Therefore, let's attempt to build the DMAP a little more correctly by
walking the physmap array and mapping each range individually. It is not
perfect in that we still only respect the range to a 2MB granularity,
but this could be improved in the future.
