The kvm selftest library for arm64 currently configures the hardware fields, such as shift and mask in the page-table entries and registers, directly with numbers. While it add comments at places, it's better to rewrite them with appropriate macros to improve the readability and reduce the risk of errors. Hence, introduce macros to define the hardware fields and use them in the arm64 processor library. Most of the definitions are primary copied from the Linux's header, arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable-hwdef.h. No functional change intended.

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 reStructuredText 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.
