c8f8a9957ea20ac4ba0588ddd00130e8dcf41d93 target/riscv: Reduce overhead of MSTATUS_SUM change
Kernel needs to access user mode memory e.g. during syscalls, the window
is usually opened up for a very limited time through MSTATUS.SUM, the
overhead is too much if tlb_flush() gets called for every SUM change.
This patch creates a separate MMU index for S+SUM, so that it's not
necessary to flush tlb anymore when SUM changes. This is similar to how
ARM handles Privileged Access Never (PAN).
Result of 'pipe 10' from unixbench boosts from 223656 to 1705006. Many
other syscalls benefit a lot from this too.
