[PATCH 0/5] arm64: some 52-bit cleanups

This work was triggered by Mark Salter's report about a regression
regarding the programmed size of the ID map page tables.

The first patch switches the early ID map population code to default to
a 48-bit range on kernels built with 52-bit VA support, and only switch
to 52-bit if the placement of the kernel requires it. This should address
the regressions reported by Mark. This patch should be suitable for being
backported to -stable.

The remaining patches are cleanups that remove and/or simplify the 52-bit
VA support, and disable some parts in configurations that don't need it.

Patch #5 adds back the logic to use a 52-bit VA ID map on 52-bit VA capable
hardware, which we might consider if it is worthwhile for some reason to
elide the TCR_EL1 updates that result from having ID map and user space VA
ranges of different size.

Ard Biesheuvel (5):
  arm64: mm: use a 48-bit ID map when possible on 52-bit VA builds
  arm64: mm: remove unused __cpu_uses_extended_idmap[_level()]
  arm64: mm: use a compile time constant for vabits_actual when possible
  arm64: mm: get rid of idmap_ptrs_per_pgd handling
  arm64: mm: switch to 52-bit ID map on 52-bit VA capable systems
