Subject: [PATCH v6 2/2] arm64/crash_core: Export TCR_EL1.T1SZ in vmcoreinfo

vabits_actual variable on arm64 indicates the actual VA space size, and allows a
single binary to support both 48-bit and 52-bit VA spaces.

If the ARMv8.2-LVA optional feature is present, and we are running with a 64KB
page size; then it is possible to use 52-bits of address space for both userspace
and kernel addresses. However, any kernel binary that supports 52-bit must also
be able to fall back to 48-bit at early boot time if the hardware feature is not
present.

Since TCR_EL1.T1SZ indicates the size offset of the memory region addressed by
TTBR1_EL1 (and hence can be used for determining the vabits_actual value) it
makes more sense to export the same in vmcoreinfo rather than vabits_actual
variable, as the name of the variable can change in future kernel versions, but
the architectural constructs like TCR_EL1.T1SZ can be used better to indicate
intended specific fields to user-space.

User-space utilities like makedumpfile and crash-utility, need to read this value
from vmcoreinfo for determining if a virtual address lies in the linear map range.

While at it also add documentation for TCR_EL1.T1SZ variable being added to
vmcoreinfo.

It indicates the size offset of the memory region addressed by TTBR1_EL1

I tested this patch on top of upstream kernel v5.7 and I am getting "crash: cannot determine VA_BITS_ACTUAL" error with crash tool.
I looked into crash-utility source and it is expecting tcr_el1_t1sz not TCR_EL1_T1SZ.
Could you please check.

Thanks,
