Post my improvement of the test in e4a4ba4154 ("selftests/mm:
va_high_addr_switch: dynamically initialize testcases to enable LPA2
testing"):
The test begins to fail on 4k and 16k pages, on non-LPA2 systems. To
reduce noise in the CI systems, let us skip the test when higher address
space is not implemented.

Post FEAT_LPA2, the Aarch64 Linux kernel extends higher address support to
4K and 16K translation granules. To support testing this out, we need to
do away with static initialization of page size, while still maintaining
the nice array of testcases; this can be achieved by initializing and
populating the array as a stack variable, and filling in the page size and
hugepage size at runtime.

va_high_addr_switch has a mechanism to determine if the tests should be
run or skipped (supported_arch()). This currently returns unconditionally
true for arm64. However, va_high_addr_switch also requires a large
virtual address space for the tests to run, otherwise they spuriously
fail.
Since arm64 can only support VA > 48 bits when the page size is 64K, let's
decide whether we should skip the test suite based on the page size. This
reduces noise when running on 4K and 16K kernels.

The in code comments for the selftest were made on the basis of 128TB
switch, an architecture feature specific to PowerPc and x86 platforms.
Keeping in mind the support added for arm64 platforms which implements a
256TB switch, a more generic explanation has been provided.

As the initial selftest only took into consideration PowperPC and x86
architectures, on adding support for arm64, a platform independent naming
convention is chosen.
