[PATCH] accel/kvm: Specify default IPA size for arm64 |

libvirt uses "none" machine type to test KVM availability. Before this
change, QEMU used to pass 0 as machine type when calling KVM_CREATE_VM.
The kernel documentation says:
> On arm64, the physical address size for a VM (IPA Size limit) is
> limited to 40bits by default. The limit can be configured if the host
> supports the extension KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE. When supported, use
> KVM_VM_TYPE_ARM_IPA_SIZE(IPA_Bits) to set the size in the machine type
> identifier, where IPA_Bits is the maximum width of any physical
> address used by the VM. The IPA_Bits is encoded in bits[7-0] of the
> machine type identifier.
>
> e.g, to configure a guest to use 48bit physical address size::

> vm_fd = ioctl(dev_fd, KVM_CREATE_VM, KVM_VM_TYPE_ARM_IPA_SIZE(48));
>
> The requested size (IPA_Bits) must be:

> == =========================================================
> 0 Implies default size, 40bits (for backward compatibility)
> N Implies N bits, where N is a positive integer such that,
> 32 <= N <= Host_IPA_Limit
> == =========================================================
> Host_IPA_Limit is the maximum possible value for IPA_Bits on the host

So if Host_IPA_Limit < 40, such KVM_CREATE_VM will fail, and libvirt
incorrectly thinks KVM is not available. This actually happened on M2
MacBook Air.
Fix this by specifying 32 for IPA_Bits as any arm64 system should
support the value according to the documentation.
