Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com> says:
On riscv, mmap currently returns an address from the largest address
space that can fit entirely inside of the hint address. This makes it
such that the hint address is almost never returned. This patch raises
the mappable area up to and including the hint address. This allows mmap
to often return the hint address, which allows a performance improvement
over searching for a valid address as well as making the behavior more
similar to other architectures.
Note that a previous patch introduced stronger semantics compared to
other architectures for riscv mmap. On riscv, mmap will not use bits in
the upper bits of the virtual address depending on the hint address. On
other architectures, a random address is returned in the address space
requested. On all architectures the hint address will be returned if it
is available. This allows riscv applications to configure how many bits
in the virtual address should be left empty. This has the two benefits
of being able to request address spaces that are smaller than the
default and doesn't require the application to know the page table
layout of riscv.

The behavior of mmap on riscv is defined to not provide an address that
uses more bits than the hint address, if provided. Make the tests
reflect that.

When building the mm tests with a riscv32 compiler, we see a range
of shift-count-overflow errors from shifting 1UL by more than 32 bits
in do_mmaps(). Since, the relevant code is only called from code that
is gated by `__riscv_xlen == 64`, we can just apply the same gating
to do_mmaps().

kselftests fails to build because the mm/testcases subdirectory is not
created and then the compiler fails to output the binary there.
So fix this by simply removing this subdirectory which is not very
useful.
