Do you actually need this sort of renaming? Given that it is static,
this looks like some slightly abusive repainting which isn't warranted
here.

I also didn't understand the commit message: you're not tracking any
mask here, but a page table level. You are also not using it for
anything yet, see below.

This is what I mean. What is this pg_level used for?
