[RFC PATCH] arm64: Expose physical/virtual address bits through cpuinfo

AArch64 support six types Physical Address range, permitted values
in ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 are:
0000  32 bits, 4GB.
0001  36 bits, 64GB.
0010  40 bits, 1TB.
0011  42 bits, 4TB.
0100  44 bits, 16TB.
0101  48 bits, 256TB.
All other values are reserved.

Meanwhile, AArch64 allows 36-bit, 39-bit, 42-bit, 47-bit and 48-bit
virtual addresses.

Exposing the physical and virtual address bits to userspace through
procfs like x86, then it is easy to check them from cpuinfo.
