So, the offset is q << (PAGE_SHIFT - (PT32_LEVEL_BITS - PT64_LEVEL_BITS) * level - 2)?

As my origin thinking, for level = 2, one gfn has 4 shadow pages, so
every shadow page occupies PAGE_SIZE / 4, and sizeof(pt_element_t) is 4
in 32-bit guest, so the offset is:
q * (PAGE_SIZE/4/4) = q << (PAGE_SHIFT - 2 -2)
Obviously, my code is really ugly than your :-)
