arm64: Enable LPA2 at boot if supported by the system
Update the early kernel mapping code to take 52-bit virtual addressing into account based on the LPA2 feature. This is a bit more involved than LVA (which is supported with 64k pages only), given that some page table descriptor bits change meaning in this case. To keep the handling in asm to a minimum, the initial ID map is still created with 48-bit virtual addressing, which implies that the kernel image must be loaded into 48-bit addressable physical memory. This is currently required by the boot protocol, even though we happen to support placement outside of that for LVA/64k based configurations. Enabling LPA2 involves more than setting TCR.T1SZ to a lower value, there is also a DS bit in TCR that needs to be set, and which changes the meaning of bits [9:8] in all page table descriptors. Since we cannot enable DS and every live page table descriptor at the same time, let's pivot through another temporary mapping. This avoids the need to reintroduce manipulations of the page tables with the MMU and caches disabled. To permit the LPA2 feature to be overridden on the kernel command line, which may be necessary to work around silicon errata, or to deal with mismatched features on heterogeneous SoC designs, test for CPU feature overrides first, and only then enable LPA2.
