Hi All,

This v5 patchset supports 4 levels of tranlsation tables for ARM64.

Firstly, the patchset introduces virtual address space size and
translation level options as taking account into the comment from
Catalin Marinas:
http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/arm-kernel/msg319552.html

Then, it implements 4 levels of translation tables for native, HYP and
stage2 sides.

All ARMv8 and ARMv7 related changes are validated with FastModels+kvmtool and
A15+QEMU, respectively.

Changes since v1:
- fixed unmatched data types as per Steve's comment
- removed unnecessary #ifdef in arch/arm64/mm/* as per Steve's comment
- revised create_pgd_entry to deal with PUD entry as per Steve's comment
- introduced a macro for initial memblock limit as per Steve's comment
- dropped "Fix line length exceeding 80 characters" patch as per Marc's comment
- removed unnecessary #ifdef in arch/arm/kvm/mmu.c as per Marc's comment
- added a macro for a number of objects of as per Marc's comment

Changes since v2:
- revised some macros in a generic way as per Marc's comment
- added a 2 level option for kvm mmu cache allocation as per Marc's comment

Changes since v3:
- added #ifdef to decide swapper and idmap size as per Steve's comment
- introduced Steve's create_pgd_entry

Changes since v4:
- hided translation level options from menuconfig as per Catalin's comment
- dropped some printk changes as per Mitchel's comment
- squashed VA_BITS related patches into a single patch
