Introduce helpers for finding the number of page table
levels required for a given VA width, shift for a particular
page table level.
Convert the existing users to the new helpers. More users
to follow.

I don't understand the '(va_bits) - 4' here, can you explain it (and add a
comment to that effect) ?
As mentioned, I will change it to DIV_ROUND_UP() as suggested by Marc.

While this change is clearly correct, if you can explain the math here
in a comment as well, that would be helpful.
Sure, will add a comment to that effect.
Suzuki
