I believe this we can't do, looking at the typical usage case below :

[   37.243969] #VMEXIT (NPF) - SIZEM, err 0xc80000005 npt_level 2, 
rmp_level 2, private 1
[   37.243973] trying psmash gpa 0x7f790000 pfn 0x1f5d90

This is typically the case with #VMEXIT(NPF) with SIZEM error code, when 
the guest tries to do PVALIDATE on 4K GHCB pages, in this case both the
RMP table and NPT will be optimally setup to 2M hugepage as can be seen.

Is it possible to investigate in more depth, when is the this case being 
observed:
RMP level is 4K
Page table level is 2M
We shouldn't try psmash because the rmp entry is already 4K.

Thanks,
Ashish
