I just noticed there are other inconsistencies with TCR_T0SZ(), e.g.,
in create_safe_exec_page(), which receives the 'shifted' value of
t0sz, but then shifts it again in cpu_install_ttbr0(). So this is
definitely

Let's just use the same expression as in the idmap_get_t0sz macro I am adding:

idmap_t0sz = 63UL - __fls(__pa_symbol(_end) | GENMASK(VA_BITS_MIN - 1, 0));
