Thanks for pointing at ARMv8 for comparison. I hadn't noticed your
newly posted patch [1], Now that I've looked at it, I agree
armv8pt_num_items_lg2() is the right way to implement this and
will follow that pattern for RISC-V in the next version.

Agreed, will fix. 39/48/57 are only valid for S1 and 41/50/59 are only
valid for S2 -- I'll gate each group on PT_FEAT_RISCV_S2 and reject the
other combination.

Makes sense, will drop the union in favor of two separate fields and
have riscvpt_iommu_fmt_hw_info() only fill in the one that matches the
format's stage.
