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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
