I found we can't remove "csr_write(CSR_HGATP, 0)" in
gstage_mode_detect(), because this patch needs to reset the HGATP when
mode check failure:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20250819004643.1884149-1-guoren@xxxxxxxxxx/
I would update to v4, which collects these related patches together
for review convenience.
