The `PPN` rooted structure for the MTT is shown below. <<mtt-map-rv64>>
shows an RV64 supervisor physical address lookup; for lower physical
address widths e.g. 34 or 46 bits, the `MTTL3` table is not applicable as shown
in <<mtt-map-rv32>>. Each physical-addressable page is associated with an
access-permission encoding. The Supervisor Physical address (SPA) is used to
index into the `MTT` structure in memory to lookup access permissions for the
supervisor domain specified in the `MTTL2` or `MTTL1` entries. Intermediate
`MTTL3` and `MTTL2` non-leaf entries are used to allow this structure to be
sparsely populated.
