arch/riscv: Compile with -mcmodel=medany
In the default (medlow) code model, pointers are loaded with a lui, addi instruction sequence: lui a0, 0xNNNNN addi a0, a0, 0xNNN Since lui sign-extends bits 32-63 from bit 31 on RV64, lui/addi can't load pointers just above 0x80000000, where RISC-V's RAM now lives. The medany code model gets around this restriction by loading pointers trough auipc and addi: auipc a0, 0xNNNNN addi a0, a0, 0xNNN This way, any pointer within the current pc ±2G can be loaded, which is by far sufficient for coreboot.
