[ Upstream commit 7ba8f2b2d652cd8d8a2ab61f4be66973e70f9f88 ]

52-bit VA kernels can run on hardware that is only 48-bit capable, but
configure the ID map as 52-bit by default. This was not a problem until
recently, because the special T0SZ value for a 52-bit VA space was never
programmed into the TCR register anwyay, and because a 52-bit ID map
happens to use the same number of translation levels as a 48-bit one.

This behavior was changed by commit 1401bef703a4 ("arm64: mm: Always update
TCR_EL1 from __cpu_set_tcr_t0sz()"), which causes the unsupported T0SZ
value for a 52-bit VA to be programmed into TCR_EL1. While some hardware
simply ignores this, Mark reports that Amberwing systems choke on this,
resulting in a broken boot. But even before that commit, the unsupported
idmap_t0sz value was exposed to KVM and used to program TCR_EL2 incorrectly
as well.

Given that we already have to deal with address spaces being either 48-bit
or 52-bit in size, the cleanest approach seems to be to simply default to
a 48-bit VA ID map, and only switch to a 52-bit one if the placement of the
kernel in DRAM requires it. This is guaranteed not to happen unless the
system is actually 52-bit VA capable.
