Oof, I see this is just following vm_guest_mode_string.  IMO, defining the
string to look like a function is unnecessary and rather mean.

A shorter name would be nice, though I don't have a good suggestion.

It'd be more robust to explicitly assign indices, that way tweaks to
vm_mem_backing_src_type won't cause silent breakage.  Ditto for the existing
vm_guest_mode_string.

E.g. I think something like this would work (completely untested)

const char *vm_guest_mode_string(int i)
{
	static const char *const strings[] = {
		[VM_MODE_P52V48_4K]	= "PA-bits:52,  VA-bits:48,  4K pages",
		[VM_MODE_P52V48_64K]	= "PA-bits:52,  VA-bits:48, 64K pages",
		[VM_MODE_P48V48_4K]	= "PA-bits:48,  VA-bits:48,  4K pages",
		[VM_MODE_P48V48_64K]	= "PA-bits:48,  VA-bits:48, 64K pages",
		[VM_MODE_P40V48_4K]	= "PA-bits:40,  VA-bits:48,  4K pages",
		[VM_MODE_P40V48_64K]	= "PA-bits:40,  VA-bits:48, 64K pages",
		[VM_MODE_PXXV48_4K]	= "PA-bits:ANY, VA-bits:48,  4K pages",
	};

	_Static_assert(sizeof(strings)/sizeof(char *) == NUM_VM_MODES,
		       "Missing new mode strings?");

	TEST_ASSERT(i < NUM_VM_MODES);

	return strings[i];
}
