An interesting feature of the Arm architecture is that the stage-1 MMU
supports two distinct VA regions, controlled by TTBR{0,1}_EL1. As KVM
selftests on arm64 only uses TTBR0_EL1, the VA space is constrained to
[0, 2^(va_bits-1)). This is different from other architectures that
allow for addressing low and high regions of the VA space from a single
page table.
KVM selftests' VA space allocator presumes the valid address range is
split between low and high memory based the MSB, which of course is a
poor match for arm64's TTBR0 region.
Allow architectures to override the default VA space layout. Make use of
the override to align vpages_valid with the behavior of TTBR0 on arm64.

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.
