So far we had a static stage2 page table handling code, based on a
fixed IPA of 40bits. As we prepare for a configurable IPA size per
VM, make our stage2 page table code dynamic, to do the right thing
for a given VM. We ensure the existing condition is always true even
when we lift the limit on the IPA. i.e,
page table levels in stage1 >= page table levels in stage2
Support for the IPA size configuration needs other changes in the way
we configure the EL2 registers (VTTBR and VTCR). So, the IPA is still
fixed to 40bits. The patch also moves the kvm_page_empty() in asm/kvm_mmu.h
to the top, before including the asm/stage2_pgtable.h to avoid a forward
declaration.

Changes since V2
- Restrict the stage2 page table to allow reusing the host page table
helpers for now, until we get stage1 independent page table helpers.
I would move this up in the commit msg to motivate the fact we enforce
the able condition.
This is mentioned in the commit message for the patch which lifts the limitation
on the IPA. This patch only deals with the dynamic page table level handling,
with the restriction on the levels. Nevertheless, I could add it to the
description.

with my very limited knowledge of S2 page table walkers I fail to
understand why we now can get rid of stage2_pgtable-nopmd.h and
stage2_pgtable-nopud.h and associated FOLDED config. Please could you
explain it in the commit message?
As mentioned above, we have static page table helpers, which are decided
at compile time (just like the stage1). So these files hold the definitions
for the cases where PUD/PMD is folded and included for a given stage1 VA.
But since we are now doing this check per VM, we make the decision
by checking the kvm_stage2_levels(), instead of hard coding it.
Does that help ? A short version of that is already there. May be I could
elaborate that a bit.

+ return (addr >> stage2_pgdir_shift(kvm)) & (stage2_pgd_ptrs(kvm) - 1);

static inline phys_addr_t
stage2_pgd_addr_end(struct kvm *kvm, phys_addr_t addr, phys_addr_t end)
{
- phys_addr_t boundary = (addr + S2_PGDIR_SIZE) & S2_PGDIR_MASK;
+ phys_addr_t boundary;
+ boundary = (addr + stage2_pgdir_size(kvm)) & stage2_pgdir_mask(kvm);
return (boundary - 1 < end - 1) ? boundary : end;
}
Globally this patch is pretty hard to review. I don't know if it is
possible to split into 2. 1) Addition of some helper macros. 2) removal
of nopud and nopmd and implementation of the corresponding macros?
I acknowledge that. The patch redefines the "existing" macros to make the
decision at runtime based on the VM's setting. I will see if there is a
better way to do it.
