However on Power-9 with radix mode we don't have Storage-Segments that we can prefault. Also prefaulting process Pages will be too costly and fine-grained. Hence, since the prefaulting mechanism doesn't makes sense of radix-mode, this patch updates prefault_mode_store() to not allow any other value apart from CXL_PREFAULT_NONE when radix mode is enabled.
