I think the intention here is to allow CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS to choose
the number of page table levels in the iommu. Perhaps a SMMU specific
config option would be clearer.
There is no relationship to the configuration of the S1 paging domain
and what the MM is doing, there should be no crossing between those
two worlds.
vabits_actual is used in the SVA code to match the SMMU SVA S1 to the
mm_struct.

Stage 2 really should ultimately be supported..
I'd say this is a first step as iommufd will naturally prefer the S1
configuration when not using nesting. After the nesting support is
merged the vSMMU will require the S2 to do the dirty tracking.
