With ARMv8.2-LVA architecture extension availability, arm64 hardware
which supports this extension can support upto 52-bit virtual
addresses. It is specially useful for having a 52-bit user-space virtual
address space while the kernel can still retain 48-bit virtual
addresses.

Since at the moment we enable the support of this extension in the
kernel via a CONFIG flag (CONFIG_ARM64_USER_VA_BITS_52), so there are
no clear mechanisms in user-space to determine this CONFIG
flag value and use it to determine the user-space VA address range
values.

'makedumpfile' can instead use 'MAX_USER_VA_BITS' value to
determine the maximum virtual physical address supported by user-space.
If 'MAX_USER_VA_BITS' value is greater than 'VA_BITS' than we are
running a use-case where user-space is 52-bit and underlying kernel is
still 48-bit. The increased 'PTRS_PER_PGD' value for such cases can then
be calculated as is done by the underlying kernel (see kernel file
'arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable-hwdef.h' for details):

  #define PTRS_PER_PGD          (1 << (MAX_USER_VA_BITS - PGDIR_SHIFT))

I have sent a kernel patch upstream to add 'MAX_USER_VA_BITS' to
vmcoreinfo for arm64 (see [0]).

This patch is in accordance with ARMv8 Architecture Reference Manual
version D.a

[0].
