Allow specifying the physical address size limit for a new
VM via the kvm_type argument for the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl. This
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 encoded 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_IPA_SIZE
for the availability of this feature. The cap check returns the
maximum limit for the physical address shift supported by the host.

Changes since v5:
- Rename the capability to KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE
- Update Documentation of the API (Peter Maydell)
- Fix comment/commit-description as spotted by Eric
Changes since v4:
- Fold the introduction of the KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_PHYS_SHIFT to this
patch to allow detection of the availability of the feature for
userspace.
- Document the API
- Restrict the feature only to arm64.
Changes since V3:
- Switch to a CAP, that can be checkd via EXTENSIONS on KVM device
fd, rather than a dedicated ioctl.

flag KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ.
+On arm64, the physical address size for a VM (IPA Size limit) is limited
+to 40bits by default. The limit can be configured if the host supports the
+extension KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE. When supported, use
+KVM_VM_TYPE_ARM_IPA_SIZE(IPA_Bits) to set the size in the machine type
+identifier, where IPA_Bits is the maximum width of any physical
+address used by the VM. The IPA_Bits is encoded in bits[7-0] of the
+machine type identifier.
+
+e.g, to configure a guest to use 48bit physical address size :
+
+ vm_fd = ioctl(dev_fd, KVM_CREATE_VM, KVM_VM_TYPE_ARM_IPA_SIZE(48));
+
+The requested size (IPA_Bits) must be :
+ 0 - Implies default size, 40bits (for backward compatibility)
+
+ or
+
+ N - Implies N bits, where N is a positive integer such that,
+ 32 <= N <= Host_IPA_Limit
+
+Host_IPA_Limit is the maximum possible value for IPA_Bits on the host and
+is dependent on the CPU capability and the kernel configuration. The limit can
+be retrieved using KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE of the KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION
+ioctl() at run-time.
+
+Please note that configuring the IPA size does not affect the capability
+exposed by the guest CPUs in ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1[PARange]. It only affects
+size of the address translated by the stage2 level (guest physical to
+host physical address translations).
