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.

Applied the first two patches to arm64 (for-next/fixes), thanks!

[1/5] arm64: mm: use a 48-bit ID map when possible on 52-bit VA builds

[2/5] arm64: mm: remove unused __cpu_uses_extended_idmap[_level()]
