I think we can define MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS in one of
arch/arm/inclide/asm/pgtable-{2,3}level-*.h headers to values supported
by !LPAE and LPAE.
That's what x86 does:
$ git grep -w MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS arch/
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable-3level_types.h:#define MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS 36
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_64_types.h:#define MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS 52
It seems that actual numbers would be 36 for !LPAE and 40 for LPAE, but
I'm not sure about that.
