The selftests nested code only supports 4-level paging at the moment. This means it cannot map nested guest physical addresses with more than 48 bits. Allow perf_test_util nested mode to work on hosts with more than 48 physical addresses by restricting the guest test region to 48-bits. While here, opportunistically fix an off-by-one error when dealing with vm_get_max_gfn(). perf_test_util.c was treating this as the maximum number of GFNs, rather than the maximum allowed GFN. This didn't result in any correctness issues, but it did end up shifting the test region down slightly when using huge pages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
