These should be guarded by some sort of #ifdef CONFIG_M_MODE, as they're not
part of S mode.

Hi Palmer,

This code segment is guarded by CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE

#ifdef CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE
/* flush the instruction cache */
fence.i

/* Reset all registers except ra, a0, a1 */
call reset_regs

/* Setup a PMP to permit access to all of memory. */
li a0, -1
csrw CSR_PMPADDR0, a0
li a0, (PMP_A_NAPOT | PMP_R | PMP_W | PMP_X)
csrw CSR_PMPCFG0, a0

/*
* The hartid in a0 is expected later on, and we have no firmware
* to hand it to us.
*/
csrr a0, CSR_MHARTID
#endif /* CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE */

Whoops. It's queued up for the RCs.
