FEAT_D128 is a new arm architecture feature adding support for VMSAv9-128
translation system. FEAT_D128 is an optional feature from ARMV9.3 onwards.
So with this feature arm64 platforms could have two different translation
systems, VMSAv8-64 and VMSAv9-128 could selectively be enabled.

FEAT_D128 adds 128 bit page table entries, thus supporting larger physical
and virtual address range while also expanding available room for more MMU
management feature bits both for HW and SW.

This series has been split into two parts. Generic MM changes followed by
arm64 platform changes, finally enabling D128 with a new config ARM64_D128.

READ_ONCE() on page table entries get routed via level specific pxdp_get()
helpers which platforms could then override when required. These accessors
on arm64 platform help in ensuring page table accesses are performed in an
atomic manner while reading 128 bit page table entries.

All ARM64_VA_BITS and ARM64_PA_BITS combinations for all page sizes are now
supported both on D64 and D128 translation regimes. Although new 56 bits VA
space is not yet supported. Similarly FEAT_D128 skip level is not supported
currently.

Basic page table geometry has been changed with D128 as there are now fewer
entries per level. Please refer to the following table for leaf entry sizes

                    D64              D128
------------------------------------------------
| PAGE_SIZE |   PMD  |  PUD  |   PMD  |   PUD  |
-----------------------------|-----------------|
|     4K    |    2M  |  1G   |    1M  |  256M  |
|    16K    |   32M  | 64G   |   16M  |   16G  |
|    64K    |  512M  |  4T   |  256M  |    1T  |
------------------------------------------------

From arm64 kernel features perspective KVM, KASAN and UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0
are currently not supported as well.

Open Questions:

- Do we need to support UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 with D128
- Do we need to emulate traditional D64 sizes at PUD, PMD level with D128

This series applies on upstream kernel v7.0-rc1.

There are no apparent problems while running MM kselftests with and without
CONFIG_ARM64_D128. Besides the series has been built on other platform such
as x86, powerpc, riscv, arm and s390 etc.
