I've defined them in arch/riscv/include/asm/pgtable-bits.h first, that
follow current latest draft. Then I undefine them in
errata/thead/errata.c to illustrate we should follow standard PBMT,
not a custom one.

When c9xx was released in 2018, there is no clear direction for how to
solve the non-coherent problem. We just thought PBMT is the correct
direction, but we can't predict how encoding exactly in the highest
bits. (Maybe we should keep the highest bits zero for _P/SXXX in
pgtable.h, but it was really hard to guess at that time.) So don't
imply we "intentionally" here! When the svpbmt is frozen in the
future, we would follow that in our next-generation processor.

Okay, I would separate errata into another patch.

About documenting, I've illustrated c9xx PTE format's detail and using
undef _PAGE_XXX to show that we replaced standard's in errata:

+/*
