Hi,
Shouldn't this function be called aarch64_remove_top_bits (note the
s/bytes/bits)? This function does not work at the byte grain.

You could drop the ternary operator by using
bool kernel_address = (pointer & VA_RANGE_SELECT_BIT_MASK) != 0;
which I find a "more canonical" way to write it, but I guess it is
mostly a matter of taste.
Best,
Lancelot.
