More bikeshedding...  Can we keep 'level' and 'levelp' instead of prepending
'goal_'?  I get the intent, but goal_level isn't necessarily accurate as the
original requested level (referred to as req_level in the caller in kvm/queue)
may be different than goal_level, i.e. this helper may have already decremented
the level.  IMO it's more accurate/correct to keep the plain 'level'.
