Changes in V3:
   - add SPDX
   - drop unneeded for now p2m types.
   - return false in all functions implemented with BUG()
inside.
   - update the commit message

This looks like a verbatim copy from Arm. Did you actually check
RISC-V
has 4 bits available in the PTE to store this value?
Thanks for noticing that, in RISC-V it is available only 2 bits (
bits
8 and 9), so I'll update the comment:
53                   10 9    8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
  Physical Page Number     RSV  D A G U X W R V

It's RSW (Reserved for Supervisor softWare use), not RSV, which is
pretty
important in this context.
Yes, you are right it is RSW. Thanks for the correction.


It seems that I missed something in the Arm code/architecture.As
far as I recall, in Arm, bits 5-8 are ignored by the MMU, and they
are expected
to be used by the hypervisor for its purpose.
However, in the code, I notice that these bits are utilized for
storing
a reference counter.

Why "however"? Hardware still is going to ignore these bits.
Sure, these bits are ignored by hardware. What I meant is that,
according to the code, these bits are used for storing a reference
counter, not p2m_type_t. I guess I am missing something...

I can only guess where you saw the field used for reference counting. This was the domain map page infrastruture, right?

If so, this is for stage-1 page-table (aka hypervisor table) and not the stage-2 (e.g. P2M). For the latter, we would use the p2m_type_t.
