[RFC PATCH 4/7] arm64: mm: Support use of 52-bit pgdirs on 48-bit/16k systems

On LVA/64k granule configurations, we simply extend the level 1 root
page table to cover 52 bits of VA space, and if the system in question
only supports 48 bits, we point TTBR1 to the pgdir entry that covers the
start of the 48-bit addressable part of the VA space.

Sadly, we cannot use the same trick on LPA2/16k granule configurations.
This is due to the fact that TTBR registers require 64 byte aligned
addresses, while the 48-bit addressable entries in question will not
appear at a 64 byte aligned address if the entire 52-bit VA table is
aligned to its size (which is another requirement for TTBR registers).

Fortunately, we are only dealing with two entries in this case: one that
covers the kernel/vmalloc region and one covering the linear map. This
makes it feasible to simply clone those entries into the start of the
page table after the first mapping into the respective region is
created.
