RISC-V: KVM: Allow Smnpm and Ssnpm extensions for guests

Browse source

The interface for controlling pointer masking in VS-mode is henvcfg.PMM,
which is part of the Ssnpm extension, even though pointer masking in
HS-mode is provided by the Smnpm extension. As a result, emulating Smnpm
in the guest requires (only) Ssnpm on the host.

The guest configures Smnpm through the SBI Firmware Features extension,
which KVM does not yet implement, so currently the ISA extension has no
visible effect on the guest, and thus it cannot be disabled. Ssnpm is
configured using the senvcfg CSR within the guest, so that extension
cannot be hidden from the guest without intercepting writes to the CSR.
