+          ISA-extension (Supervisor-mode: page-based memory types) and
+          enable its usage.

+          The memory type for a page contains a combination of attributes
+          that indicate the cacheability, idempotency, and ordering
+          properties for access to that page.
 
           The SVPBMT extension is only available on 64Bit cpus.
