In AIA spec, each hart (or each hart within a group) has a unique hart
number to locate the memory pages of interrupt files in the address
space. The number of bits required to represent any hart number is equal
to ceil(log2(hmax + 1)), where hmax is the largest hart number among
groups.

However, if the largest hart number among groups is a power of 2, kvmtool
will pass an inaccurate hart-index-bit setting to Linux. For example, when
the guest OS has 4 harts, only ceil(log2(3 + 1)) = 2 bits are sufficient
to represent 4 harts, but we passes 3 to Linux. The code needs to be
updated to ensure accurate hart-index-bit settings.

Additionally, a Linux patch[1] is necessary to correctly recover the hart
index when the guest OS has only 1 hart, where the hart-index-bit is 0.
