>Hm. Why not use cpu_has_lam() for the paging check?

cpu_has_lam() seems to return what the cpuid reports about LAM being available
on the system.

The problem I was trying to solve here was to determine what pagetable level is
used currently so I can setup the bitmask to create fake kernel pointers below.
Can cpu_has_lam() achieve that? I didn't see any correlation between the cpuid
and active paging mode.

Okay, I'll try that.

Right, I forgot to remove it.
