iommu/arm-smmu-v3-sva: Enable Hardware Access and Hardware Dirty bits
HTTU is introduced by utilizing the Dirty Bit Modifier (DBM) in the PTE. When kernel maps a clean but writable page, it will set PTE_READONLY and PTE_DBM (aka PTE_WRITE) at the same time. When a write occurs, an HTTU- capable MMU will automatically clear the PTE_RDONLY bit without software intervention. On the other hand, SMMU has the same HTTU feature, yet it is not enabled in the SVA CD. As a result, SMMU will not clear the PTE_RDONLY bit while sharing the CPU page table, resulting in unnecessary stalls. Thus, enable CTXDESC_CD_0_TCR_HA and CTXDESC_CD_0_TCR_HD in the SVA CD.
