The KVM page-table code is intricately tied into the kernel page-table
code and re-uses the pte/pmd/pud/p4d/pgd macros directly in an attempt
to reduce code duplication. Unfortunately, the reality is that there is
an awful lot of code required to make this work, and at the end of the
day you're limited to creating page-tables with the same configuration
as the host kernel. Furthermore, lifting the page-table code to run
directly at EL2 on a non-VHE system (as we plan to to do in future
patches) is practically impossible due to the number of dependencies it
has on the core kernel.
Introduce a framework for walking Armv8 page-tables configured
independently from the host kernel.
