I've fixed this and other uses of the PUD helpers to go via the stage2_
accessors.

I've still not quite come to terms with the lack of certain levels at
stage 2 vis-a-vis stage 1. I'll be more careful about this going
forward.

Good point. I've added the following comment.

/*
* PUD level may not exist if the guest boots with two
* levels at Stage 2. This configuration is currently
* not supported due to IPA size supported by KVM.
*
* Revisit the assumptions about PUD levels when
* additional IPA sizes are supported by KVM.
*/

Let me know if looks OK to you.

Thanks a lot for reviewing the patches.
