I wouldn't bother maintaining these. There are other combinations that
people may use. The 4KB + 48-bit VA is defconfig while 64KB + 52-bit was
more interesting, so we thought it would be useful.

I'm more inclined to remove them altogether and maybe just add some
high-level ascii art as per the log of commit f4693c2716b3 ("arm64: mm:
extend linear region for 52-bit VA configurations").
