Eh, I would argue that in this particular case, including @level was ok from a
process perspective, the main issue is the implementation was buggy.  Which is
very arguably _because_ there was no user to validate the code, but given all the
pre-existing KVM MMU code at play, at some point we'd have to insert code to say
"hugepages aren't supported".  E.g. in this specific case, assuming PG_LEVEL_4K
could have been just as bad as having a partially-dead @level.

But nitpicking aside, +1 to not building out unused, untestable infrastructure.
