[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 17/23] RISC-V: Hardwire satp to 0 for no-mmu case

[Michael Clark <mjc@sifive.com>]

satp is WARL so it should not trap on illegal writes, rather
it can be hardwired to zero and silently ignore illegal writes.

It seems the RISC-V WARL behaviour is preferred to having to
trap overhead versus simply reading back the value and checking
if the write took (saves hundreds of cycles and more complex
trap handling code).
