level can be 4 here.  You have to return 0xf8 for level == 4.

The same "if" statement then can cover both 2MB and 1GB pages, like

                if (spte & (1ULL << 7))
                        /* 1GB/2MB page, bits 29:12 or 20:12 reserved respectively */
                        mask |= (PAGE_SIZE << ((level - 1) * 9)) - PAGE_SIZE;
                else
                        /* bits 6:3 reserved */
                        mask |= 0x78;

This condition can be simplified by checking the return value of ept_rsvd_mask.
If it includes 0x38, this is a large page.  Otherwise it is a leaf page and
you can go down the "if".
