The default page size of ITS table has been changed to 64KB,
but for some platforms the real size of allocated memory which
calculated by DEVBITS of register GITS_TYPER may be smaller than
default size. In this case, the allocation size must be increased
to the default size, otherwise, the wrong page number will cause
kernel hang.

v2-v1:
Increase allocation size instead of decreasing PSZ

This changelog fails to explain WHY the kernel hangs if the allocated
table is smaller than the default

Lacks a comment explaining WHY we do that max() here.
