Oops, Nevermind. I'm wrong.

I've just reviewed the GD32F103 datasheet, it only does mention the Memory
Protection Unit, but it only says the MPU can be provided by Cortex-M3 core
without additional notes. So it's not in fact supported.

I was reviewing a bunch of different datasheets in a Sunday afternoon in
2018, including F and L series from different vendor. The bulletpoint of
the MPU in GD32 datasheet probably confused me and I mixed them up.
