[PATCH v1 12/16] kvm: arm64: Dynamic configuration of VTCR and VTTBR mask

VTCR_EL2 holds the following key stage2 translation table
parameters:
 SL0  - Entry level in the page table lookup.
 T0SZ - Denotes the size of the memory addressed by the table.

We have been using fixed values for the SL0 depending on the
page size as we have a fixed IPA size. But since we are about
to make it dynamic, we need to calculate the SL0 at runtime
per VM.

Also the VTTBR:BADDR holds the base address for the stage2
translation table and the ARM ARM mandates that bits
BADDR[x-1:0] should be 0, where 'x' defined using some
magical constant, which depends on the page size, T0SZ
and the entry level of lookup (Since the entry level page
tables can be concatenated at stage2, a given T0SZ could
possibly start at 2 different levels). We need a way to
calculate this magical value per VM, depending on the
IPA size. Luckily there is a magic formula for finding
the "magic" number to find "x". See the patch for more
details.

This patch adds helpers to figure out the VTCR_SL0 and
the magic "X" for a configuration of stage2.

The other advantage we have with this change is switching
the entry level for a given IPA size, depending on if we
are able to get contiguous block of memory for the entry
level page table. (e.g, With 64KB page size and 46bit IPA
starting at level 2, finding 16 * 64KB contiguous block on a
loaded system could be tricky. So we could decide to rather
enter at level 1, with a single page).

+ * ARM VMSAv8-64 defines an algorithm for finding the translation table

+ *
+ * The algorithm defines the expectaions on the BaseAddress (for the page
+ * table) bits resolved at each level based on the page size, entry level
+ * and T0SZ. The variable "x" in the algorithm also affects the VTTBR:BADDR
+ * for stage2 page table.
+ *
+ * The value of "x" is calculated as :
+ * 	x = Magic_N - T0SZ
+ *
+ * where Magic_N is an integer depending on the page size and the entry
+ * level of the page table as below:
+ *
+ *	--------------------------------------------
+ *	| Entry level		|  4K    16K   64K |
+ *	--------------------------------------------
+ *	| Level: 0 (4 levels) 	| 28   |  -  |  -  |

+ *	--------------------------------------------
+ *	| Level: 3 (1 level)	| -    | 53  | 51  |
+ *	--------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * We have a magic formula for the Magic_N below.
+ * Which can also be expressed as:
+ *
+ * 	Magic_N(PAGE_SIZE, Entry_Level) = 64 - ((PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * Number of levels)
+ *
+ * where number of levels = (4 - Entry_Level).
+ *
+ * So, given that T0SZ = (64 - PA_SHIFT), we can compute 'x' as follows:
+ *
+ *	x = (64 - ((PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * Number_of_levels)) - (64 - PA_SHIFT)
+ *	  = PA_SHIFT - ((PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * Number of levels)
+ *
+ * Here is one way to explain the Magic Formula:
+ *
+ *  x = log2(Size_of_Entry_Level_Table)
+ *
+ * Since, we can resolve (PAGE_SHIFT - 3) bits at each level, and another
+ * PAGE_SHIFT bits in the PTE, we have :
+ *
+ *  Bits_Entry_level = PA_SHIFT - ((PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * (n - 1) + PAGE_SHIFT)
+ *		     = PA_SHIFT - (PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * n - 3
+ *  where n = number of levels, and since each pointer is 8bytes, we have:
+ *
+ *  x = Bits_Entry_Level + 3
+ *    = PA_SHIFT - (PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * n
+ *
+ * The only constraint here is that, we have to find the number of page table
+ * levels for a given IPA size (which we do, see STAGE2_PGTABLE_LEVELS).
