Does 128-bit page table not imply 52-bit PAs?

I think it would be simpler and clearer if we replaced the macros with
functions, such that __pte_to_phys() and __phys_to_pte_val() are
*always* functions.

That way it's easier to compar the CONFIG_ARM64_PA_BITS_52=y and
CONFIG_ARM64_PA_BITS_52=n versions, and the types are always explciit
for inputs and outputs, so there'd be less room for error and the
compiler can warn us of type safety issues in any configuration.

That and we can delete the comment block immediately above at the same
time.
