Uhh. No.
The 'page_size' is in the kernel/TDX-module ABI. It can't change.
PG_LEVEL_* is just some random internal Linux enum. It *CAN* change.
There's a *MASSIVE* difference between the two. What you suggest will
probably actually work. But, it will work accidentally and may break in
horribly confusing ways in the future.
It's the difference between hacking something together and actually
writing code that will keep working for a long time. Please, take a
minute and reflect on this. Please.
