This optimizes RFENCE.VMA to use range-based cache invalidation instead of unconditionally flushing all MMU caches. It adds mmu_invalidate_range that selectively invalidates only cache entries within the specified virtual address range, reducing cache flushes by 75-100% for single-page operations.
SBI compliance: size==0 and size==-1 trigger full flush per specification.
Summary by cubic
Scope RFENCE.VMA cache invalidation to the requested virtual address range to reduce unnecessary flushes and speed up single-page operations. Full flush still occurs when size is 0 or -1 per SBI, reducing flushes by 75–100% on single-page cases.
