In order to support 52-bit kernel addresses detectable at boot time, one needs to know the actual VA_BITS detected. A new variable vabits_actual is introduced in this commit and employed for the KVM hypervisor layout, KASAN, fault handling and phys-to/from-virt translation where there would normally be compile time constants. In order to maintain performance in phys_to_virt, another variable physvirt_offset is introduced.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
