allocated? you mean assigned?
aren't you setting vttbr_baddr_mask in kvm_arch_init()?  that's
certainly called before kvm_arch_init_vm().

What are the issues that you face?  Iow. what is the alignment of the
returned physical address?

(You should be able to just to virt_to_phys(pgd) and use that to test
for the vttbr_baddr_mask).
