Your logic can be extended to 3 levels. In an original code, tbl is fed into create_block_mapping. That is why I've written them down as "preserves".

For 4-levels, we set x0 to be ttbr1 + PAGE_SIZE, then inside the create_pgd_entry > macro, we check the VA for FIXADDR_TOP then add another PAGE_SIZE.

Yes, you're right. I will introduce #ifdef statements for their size adjustment.
