/**
* Address space layout.
*
- * RISC-V implements up to a 48 bit virtual address space. The address space is
- * split into 2 regions at each end of the 64 bit address space, with an
- * out of range "hole" in the middle.
+ * RISC-V implements multiple paging modes with different virtual address space
+ * sizes: SV32, SV39 and SV48. SV39 permits a virtual address space size of
+ * 512GB and uses a three-level page table. Since this is large enough for most
+ * purposes, we currently use SV39 for both userland and the kernel, avoiding
+ * the extra translation step required by SV48.
*
- * We limit the size of the two spaces to 39 bits each.
+ * The address space is split into two regions at each end of the 64-bit address
+ * space:
*
- * Upper region: 0xffffffffffffffff
- * 0xffffff8000000000
+ * 0x0000000000000000 - 0x0000003fffffffff 256GB user map
+ * 0x0000004000000000 - 0xffffffbfffffffff unmappable
+ * 0xffffffc000000000 - 0xffffffc7ffffffff 32GB kernel map
+ * 0xffffffc800000000 - 0xffffffcfffffffff 32GB unused
+ * 0xffffffd000000000 - 0xffffffefffffffff 128GB direct map
+ * 0xfffffff000000000 - 0xffffffffffffffff 64GB unused
*
- * Hole: 0xffffff7fffffffff
- * 0x0000008000000000
+ * The kernel is loaded at the beginning of the kernel map.
*
- * Lower region: 0x0000007fffffffff
- * 0x0000000000000000
- *
- * We use the upper region for the kernel, and the lower region for userland.
- *
* We define some interesting address constants:
*
* VM_MIN_ADDRESS and VM_MAX_ADDRESS define the start and end of the entire
