I wanted to try testing this on the BeagleV Starlight but I could not
apply it cleanly against 5.13-rc3:

  $ git am /tmp/patch.am
  Applying: riscv: Map the kernel with correct permissions the first time
  error: patch failed: arch/riscv/include/asm/page.h:95
  error: arch/riscv/include/asm/page.h: patch does not apply
  Patch failed at 0001 riscv: Map the kernel with correct permissions the first time
  hint: Use 'git am --show-current-patch=diff' to see the failed patch
  When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
  If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
  To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".

Is there another branch I should be looking at?

thanks,
drew
