With the introduction of FEAT_LPA2, the Arm ARM adds a new level of translation, level -1, so levels can now be in the range [-1;3]. 3 is always the last level and the first level is determined based on the number of VA bits in use. Convert level variables to use a signed type in preparation for supporting this new level -1. Since the last level is always anchored at 3, and the first level varies to suit the number of VA/IPA bits, take the opportunity to replace KVM_PGTABLE_MAX_LEVELS with the 2 macros KVM_PGTABLE_FIRST_LEVEL and KVM_PGTABLE_LAST_LEVEL. This removes the assumption from the code that levels run from 0 to KVM_PGTABLE_MAX_LEVELS - 1, which will soon no longer be true.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
