[PATCH 3/3][Do not merge] kvmtool: arm64: Configure VM with the minimal required IPA space

[Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>]

There is some value in keeping the IPA space small, as it reduces
the size of the stage-2 page tables.

Let's compute the required space at VM creation time, and inform
the kernel of our requirements.
