This is incomplete without a specification of the behavior of the HADE bit implied
by svadu being present.

The ratified RVA20 requires page table accesses with A/D = 0 to trap, in other
words HADE = 0 for RVA20 conformance.  If we are serious about compatibility,
I think that we need platforms to be able to conform to both RVA20 and RVA23,
which requires HADE = 0 at kernel entry with a SBI call to set HADE = 1.  For
the same reason KVM should probably default to HADE = 0 so that the default
configuration remains conformant to RVA20.
