Separate out platform sections from original document
The very first draft of the spec contained three sections: User Level Platform, Supervisor Level Platform and Machine Level Platform. This change moves those to individual files; note that there was no content for machine level, so there was no need for an additional file. This is a structural change only. All content remains the same. It is unclear where the content in these files will eventually end up. The outline of the spec is certain to change and how the content here gets used is still to be determined. Signed-off-by: Al Stone <[email protected]>

## Supervisor-Level Platform | ||
|
||
* Supervisor-mode environments must implement at least version 0.2.0 of the | ||
RISC-V SBI specification, which can be found at | ||
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-sbi-doc/blob/v0.2.0/riscv-sbi.adoc | ||
* Supervisor-mode environments must implement the Sv39 page-based | ||
virtual-memory scheme. Systems that support Sv48 must support Sv39, systems | ||
that support Sv57 must support Sv48, and so forth. | ||
* Unless otherwise specified by a given I/O device, I/O regions are at least | ||
point-to-point strongly ordered. All devices attached to a given PCIe root | ||
complex are on the same ordered channel (numbered 2 or above), though | ||
different root complexes might not be on the same ordering channel. | ||
* On RV64I-based Unix-class systems the negative virtual addresses are reserved | ||
for the kernel. | ||
* External devices (DMA engines, the debug unit, non RISC-V cores, etc) that | ||
are visible to RISC-V harts must appear as coherent agents, just like any | ||
RISC-V hart would. If additional ordering constraints are necessary for a | ||
device to function, those will be provide by a device-specific mechanism. | ||

## User-Level Platform | ||
|
||
* User-mode environments must implement at least version 2.2 of the RISC-V User | ||
ISA specification, which can be found at | ||
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-manual/blob/master/release/riscv-spec-v2.2.pdf. | ||
* User-mode programs may not execute the `fence.i` instruction. | ||
* User-mode environments may provide additional ISA extensions, but if those | ||
extensions add user-visible state they must be initially disabled. | ||
* Within main-memory regions, aligned instruction fetch must be atomic, up to | ||
the smaller of ILEN and XLEN bits. In particular, if an aligned 4-byte word | ||
is stored with the `sw` instruction, then any processor attempts to execute | ||
that word, the processor either fetches the newly stored word, or some previous | ||
value stored to that location. (That is, the fetched instruction is not an | ||
unpredictable value, nor is it a hybrid of the bytes of the old and new | ||
values.) | ||
