[RFC PATCH 1/7] arm64: ptdump: Disregard unaddressable VA space

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

Configurations built with support for 52-bit virtual addressing can also
run on CPUs that only support 48 bits of VA space, in which case only
that part of swapper_pg_dir that represents the 48-bit addressable
region is relevant, and everything else is ignored by the hardware.

In a future patch, we will clone the top 2 pgd_t entries at the bottom,
to support 52-bit VA configurations built for 16k pages and LPA2, where
we cannot simply point TTBR1 to the pgd_t entries where they actually
reside. However, we should avoid misinterpreting those cloned entries as
describing the start of the 52-bit VA space when the hardware does not
support that.
