Allow specifying the physical address size limit for a new

allows us to finalise the stage2 page table as early as possible
and hence perform the right checks on the memory slots
without complication. The size is ecnoded as Log2(PA_Size) in
bits[7:0] of the type field. For backward compatibility the
value 0 is reserved and implies 40bits. Also, lift the limit
of the IPA to host limit and allow lower IPA sizes (e.g, 32).
The userspace could check the extension KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_PHYS_SHIFT
for the availability of this feature. The cap check returns the
maximum limit for the physical address shift supported by the host.

Sorry about that. I have fixed this locally. Btw, did you get
a chance to look at the patch itself ? If you did, are you fine
with the API ?
