I've fixed this and other uses of the PUD helpers to go via the stage2_
accessors.

I've still not quite come to terms with the lack of certain levels at
stage 2 vis-a-vis stage 1. I'll be more careful about this going
forward.

Good point. I've added the following comment.

    /*
     * PUD level may not exist if the guest boots with two
     * levels at Stage 2. This configuration is currently
     * not supported due to IPA size supported by KVM.
     *
     * Revisit the assumptions about PUD levels when
     * additional IPA sizes are supported by KVM.
     */

Let me know if looks OK to you.

Thanks a lot for reviewing the patches.
