This constraint appears new:

Svadu extension requires the page tables to be located in cacheable main memory PMA regions.
What happens if they are not? Access fault? Unspecified?
This is addressed by the step 2 and 7.a of the translation process:
2. If accessing pte violates a PMA or PMP check, raise
an access-fault exception corresponding to the
original access type.
7.a. If a store to pte would violate a PMA or PMP check,
raise an access-fault exception corresponding to the
original access type.
