I created a small test program:

$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
        unsigned long arr[] = {0x8, 0x1000, 0x200000, 0x40000000, 0x8000000000};
        int i;

        for (i = 1; i < sizeof(arr)/sizeof(unsigned long); i++) {
                printf("%048b\n", arr[i] - arr[i - 1]);
                printf("%048b\n", (arr[i] - 1) ^ (arr[i - 1] - 1));
        }
}

000000000000000000111111111000000000000000000000
000000000000000000111111111000000000000000000000
000000000000000011000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000011000000000000000000000000000000

So the operation could be described as:

        pfn = PFN_DOWN(address & (~page_level_mask(level) ^ ~page_level_mask(level - 1)));

Which IMHO already documents itself quite well: index
with the granularity of PGD by removing bits used for
PGD's below it.
