This addition will be necessary for some HVF related work to follow. For HVF on ARM there exists a set of APIs in macOS 13 to be able to adjust the IPA size for a given VM. This is useful as by default HVF uses 36 bits as the IPA size, so to support guests with > 64GB of RAM we'll need to reach for this. To have all the info necessary to carry this out however, we need some plumbing to be able to grab the memory map and compute the highest GPA prior to creating the VM. This is almost exactly like what kvm_type is used for on ARM today, and is also what this will be used for. We will compute the highest GPA and find what IPA size we'd need to satisfy this, and if it's valid (macOS today caps at 40b) we'll set this to be the IPA size in coming patches. This new method is only needed (today at least) on ARM, and obviously only for HVF/macOS, so admittedly it is much less generic than kvm_type today, but it seemed a somewhat sane way to get the information we need from the memmap at VM creation time.
