Instead of silently ignoring the EPMP setting if there is no PMP available, error out informing the user that EPMP depends on PMP support:
$ ./qemu-system-riscv64 -cpu rv64,pmp=false,x-epmp=true qemu-system-riscv64: Invalid configuration: EPMP requires PMP support This will force users to pick saner options in the QEMU command line.
