Stage-2 FEAT_LPA2 support is independent and also orthogonal to FEAT_LPA2
support either in Stage-1 or in the host kernel. Stage-2 IPA range support
is evaluated from the platform via ID_AA64MMFR0_TGRAN_2_SUPPORTED_LPA2 and
gets enabled regardless of Stage-1 translation.

Having to do a function call just for this test seems bad, specially
for something that is used so often on the fault path.

Why can't this be made a normal capability that indicates LPA support
for the current page size?
Although I could look into making this a normal capability check, would
not a static key based implementation be preferred if the function call
based construct here is too expensive ?
A capability *is* a static key. Specially if you make it final.
Sure.

Originally, avoided capability method for stage-2 because it would have
been difficult in stage-1 where the FEAT_LPA2 detection is required way
earlier during boot before cpu capability comes up. Hence just followed
a simple variable method both for stage-1 and stage-2 keeping it same.
I think you'll have to find a way to make it work with a capability
for S1 too. Capabilities can be used even when not final, and you may
have to do something similar.
Sure, will explore that.

Where are bits 48 and 49?
Unlike the current FEAT_LPA feature, bits 48 and 49 are part of the PA
itself. Only the bits 50 and 51 move into bits 8 and 9, while creating
a PTE.
So why are you actively dropping these bits? Hint: look at
KVM_PTE_ADDR_MASK and the way it is used to extract the initial value
of 'pa'.
Right, will need another address mask i.e KVM_PTE_ADDR_MASK_50 which will
extract the PA field both in kvm_pte_to_phys() and kvm_phys_to_pte().

Another thing I don't see is how you manage TLB invalidation by level
now that we gain a level 0 at 4kB, breaking the current assumptions
encoded in __tlbi_level().
Right, I guess something like this (not build tested) will be required as
level 0 for 4K and level 1 for 16K would only make sense when FEAT_LPA2 is
implemented, otherwise it will fallback to the default behaviour i.e table
level hint was not provided (TTL[3:2] is 0b00). Is there any other concern
which I might be missing here ?

That's a start, but 0 has always meant 'at any level' until now. You
will have to audit all the call sites and work out whether they can
pass 0 if they don't track the actual level.
Hmm, sure will audit the call sites. But wondering if the caller is not
sure about the level, should not it just use __tlbi(op, arg) instead ?
Seems like __tlbi_level(op, addr, level) should only accept level as 0
when the level is determined to be 0. The actual impact will depend on
if FEAT_LPA2 is implemented otherwise it falls back to __tlbi(op, arg).
Basically we should convert existing sites which call __tlbi_level()
with level as 0 (without determining), to use __tlbi() directly ?
