MPU implements Memory Protection Unit.
Notes:
The ARMv8-R MPU architecture requires a power-of-two alignment
of MPU region base address and size(64 bytes aligned).
The ARMv8-R MPU requires the active MPU regions be non-overlapping.
As a result of this, the ARMv8-R MPU needs to fully partition the
memory map when programming dynamic memory regions (e.g. PRIV stack
guard, user thread stack, and application memory domains), if the
system requires PRIV access policy different from the access policy
of the ARMv8-R background memory map. The application developer may
enforce full PRIV (kernel) memory partition by enabling the
CONFIG_MPU_GAP_FILLING option.
By not enforcing full partition, MPU may leave part of kernel
SRAM area covered only by the default ARMv8-R memory map. This
is fine for User Mode, since the background ARM map does not
allow nPRIV access at all. However, since the background map
policy allows instruction fetches by privileged code, forcing
this Kconfig option off prevents the system from directly
triggering MemManage exceptions upon accidental attempts to
execute code from SRAM in XIP builds.
Since this does not compromise User Mode, we make the skipping
of full partitioning the default behavior for the ARMv8-R MPU
driver.

Minimum size (and alignment) of an ARM MPU region. Use this

A minimum 4-byte alignment is enforced in ARM builds without
support for Memory Protection.
