>From what I see, this might have size exceeding page size in the
following cases:
1- When creating a VM with 4K kernel as the struct pkvm_hyp_vm size
is at least 0x1130 (without vCPUs)
2- When creating a VM and PGD size is bigger than one page (for cases
with concatenation as 52 bits and 4K would have 64K PGD)
