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)). 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.
Add a helper that correctly handles both addressing schemes with a comment describing each.

Right, we can have two active table roots at any given time, each mapping their own portion of the address space.

Even though there happens to be already a suitable #ifdef, I don't really like them and don't think there should be a new bool unless something else uses it.
However, the new comment is very useful, so I added it to kvm_util.c as follows:
