So far we have restricted the IPA size of the VM to the default
value (40bits). Now that we can manage the IPA size per VM and
support dynamic stage2 page tables, we can allow VMs to have
larger IPA. This patch introduces a the maximum IPA size
supported on the host. This is decided by the following factors :
1) Maximum PARange supported by the CPUs - This can be inferred
from the system wide safe value.
2) Maximum PA size supported by the host kernel (48 vs 52)
3) Number of levels in the host page table (as we base our
stage2 tables on the host table helpers).
Since the stage2 page table code is dependent on the stage1
page table, we always ensure that :
Number of Levels at Stage1 >= Number of Levels at Stage2
So we limit the IPA to make sure that the above condition
is satisfied. This will affect the following combinations
of VA_BITS and IPA for different page sizes.
Host configuration | Unsupported IPA ranges
39bit VA, 4K | [44, 48]
36bit VA, 16K | [41, 48]
42bit VA, 64K | [47, 52]
Supporting the above combinations need independent stage2
page table manipulation code, which would need substantial
changes. We could purse the solution independently and
switch the page table code once we have it ready.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
