ARM64 systems can support up to 48-bits of physical address, but
currently we configure both Stage-1 and Stage-2 for only 40-bits.
However there are systems with peripherals mapped higher up, in order to
support those we need to support 48-bits as output for stage-1 as well
as input and output for stage-2. Stage-2 support is needed in order to
map them 1:1 to dom0.

Unfortunately as the last commit message explains in a bit more detail
supporting larger input sizes on the p2m is a pain because it means we
can no longer statically decide to use a 3-level p2m with 2 concatenated
pages at the root and need to be able to support either that *or* a
4-level p2m with no root concatenation. There is simply no static choice
which supports both 40- and 48-bits of IPA.

So this series goes through the various functions which manipulate or
walk page tables and makes them able to support a dynamic starting level
and concatenation before switching arm64 to make the choice dependent on
the h/w capabilities.

This is somewhat loosely based on Vijay's original "Add 4-level page
table for stage 2 translation" series but due to the need to switch to
dynamic p2m levels not much of that remains.

I haven't actually been able to track down a system with >42-bit PASize.
Vijay, I'm hoping you can test this new version of the series on such a
system/model (thanks for your feed back on the previous iteration).

Since the last time I've addressed a bunch of review comments, see the
individual patches for details. Only the second patch is unacked. I'm
targeting this at 4.5.

Ian
