max_phys_bits seems generic enough and could be applied to other targets
as well.
making it a property of machine, would make accessing/manipulating it easier.
define default value for machine/TCG mode and when KVM is enabled
it would override/set its own limit.
then any board could easily access machine->max_gpa to make board specific
checks.
