T-Head's memory attribute extension (XTheadMae) (non-compatible equivalent of RVI's Svpbmt) is currently assumed for all T-Head harts. However, QEMU recently decided to drop acceptance of guests that write reserved bits in PTEs. As XTheadMae uses reserved bits in PTEs and Linux applies the MAE errata for all T-Head harts, this broke the Linux startup on QEMU emulations of the C906 emulation. This patch attempts to address this issue by testing the MAE-enable bit in the th.sxstatus CSR. This CSR is available in HW and can be emulated in QEMU. This patch also makes the XTheadMae probing mechanism reliable, because a test for the right combination of mvendorid, marchid, and mimpid is not sufficient to enable MAE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
