Yes, it's fine even when we have a concatenated pgd table.

No matter a concatenated pgd will be made or not, the initial lookup 
level (start _level) is set in VTCR_EL2 register.

The MMU hardware walker will know the start_level according to 
information in VTCR_EL2.

This idea runs well in practice on host where ia_bits is 40, PAGE_SIZE 
is 4k, and a concatenated pgd is made for guest stage2.

According to the kernel info printed, the start_level is 1, and stage 2 
translation runs as expected.
