With 4-level page table folding at runtime, we don't know at compile time
the size of the virtual address space so we must set VA_BITS dynamically
so that sparsemem reserves the right amount of memory for struct pages.

We've moved to 32-bit physical addresses on rv32 in Linux. The mismatch was
causing too many issues in generic code.
