I agree that my magic equation wasn't readable ;) (I had troubles
re-understanding it as well), but you also have some constants here that
are not immediately obvious where you got to them from. IIUC,
KVM_PREALLOC_LEVEL == 2 here means that the hardware only understands
stage 2 pmd and pte. I guess you could look into the ARM ARM tables but
it's still not clear.
Let's look at PTRS_PER_S2_PGD as I think it's simpler. My proposal was:
#if PGDIR_SHIFT > KVM_PHYS_SHIFT
#define PTRS_PER_S2_PGD (1)
#else
#define PTRS_PER_S2_PGD (1 << (KVM_PHYS_SHIFT - PGDIR_SHIFT))
#endif
In this case PGDIR_SHIFT is 42, so we get PTRS_PER_S2_PGD == 1. The 4K
and 4 levels case below is also correct.
The KVM start level calculation, we could assume that KVM needs either
host levels or host levels - 1 (unless we go for some weirdly small
KVM_PHYS_SHIFT). So we could define them KVM_PREALLOC_LEVEL as:
#if PTRS_PER_S2_PGD <= 16
#define KVM_PREALLOC_LEVEL (4 - CONFIG_ARM64_PGTABLE_LEVELS + 1)
#else
#define KVM_PREALLOC_LEVEL (0)
#endif
Basically if you can concatenate 16 or less pages at the level below the
top, the architecture does not allow a small top level. In this case,
(4 - CONFIG_ARM64_PGTABLE_LEVELS) represents the first level for the
host and we add 1 to go to the next level for KVM stage 2 when
PTRS_PER_S2_PGD is 16 or less. We use 0 when we don't need to
preallocate.

Here PGDIR_SHIFT is 39, so we get PTRS_PER_S2_PGD == (1 << (40 - 39))
which is 2 and KVM_PREALLOC_LEVEL == 1.

You still need to define these functions but you can make their
implementation dependent solely on the KVM_PREALLOC_LEVEL rather than
64K/4K and levels combinations. If it is KVM_PREALLOC_LEVEL is 1, you
allocate pud and populate the pgds (in a loop based on the
PTRS_PER_S2_PGD). If it is 2, you allocate the pmd and populate the pud
(still in a loop though it would probably be 1 iteration). We know based
on the assumption above that you can't get KVM_PREALLOC_LEVEL == 2 and
CONFIG_ARM64_PGTABLE_LEVELS == 4.
