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.
