[PATCH v2 21/21] riscv: add ELF segment-based memory protection with MMU

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>]

Enable hardware-enforced W^X (Write XOR Execute) memory protection through
ELF segment-based permissions using the RISC-V MMU.

This implementation provides memory protection for RISC-V S-mode using
Sv39 (RV64) or Sv32 (RV32) page tables.

Linker Script Changes:
- Add PHDRS directives to pbl.lds.S and barebox.lds.S
- Create three separate PT_LOAD segments with proper permissions:
  * text segment (FLAGS(5) = PF_R|PF_X): code sections
  * rodata segment (FLAGS(4) = PF_R): read-only data
  * data segment (FLAGS(6) = PF_R|PF_W): data and BSS
- Add 4K alignment between segments for page-granular protection

S-mode MMU Implementation (mmu.c):
- Implement page table walking for Sv39/Sv32
- pbl_remap_range(): remap segments with ELF-derived permissions
- mmu_early_enable(): create identity mapping and enable SATP CSR
- Map ELF flags to PTE bits:
  * MAP_CODE → PTE_R | PTE_X (read + execute)
  * MAP_CACHED_RO → PTE_R (read only)
  * MAP_CACHED → PTE_R | PTE_W (read + write)

Integration:
- Update uncompress.c to call mmu_early_enable() before decompression
  (enables caching for faster decompression)
- Call pbl_mmu_setup_from_elf() after ELF relocation to apply final
  segment-based permissions
- Uses portable pbl/mmu.c infrastructure to parse PT_LOAD segments

Configuration:
- Add CONFIG_MMU option (default y for RISCV_S_MODE)
- Update asm/mmu.h with ARCH_HAS_REMAP and function declarations

Security Benefits:
- Text sections are read-only and executable (cannot be modified)
- Read-only data sections are read-only and non-executable
- Data sections are read-write and non-executable (cannot be executed)
- Hardware-enforced W^X prevents code injection attacks

This matches the ARM implementation philosophy and provides genuine
security improvements on RISC-V S-mode platforms.
