Looks like you want KVM_PGTABLE_MAX_LEVELS, so maybe move that into a
header?

Will do.

... that said, I'm not sure this needs to iterate at all. What exactly are
you trying to compute?

I'm trying to figure out how many pages I will need to construct a
page-table covering nr_pages contiguous pages. The first iteration tells
me how many level 0 pages I need to cover nr_pages, the second iteration
how many level 1 pages I need to cover the level 0 pages, and so on...

Ah, you iterate from leaves back to the root. Got it, thanks.

I might be doing this naively though. Got a better idea?

I thought I did, but I ended up with something based on a geometric series
and it looks terrible to code-up in C without, err, iterating like you do.

So yeah, ignore me :)

It's a bit grotty having this be signed. Why do we need to encode the error
case differently from the 0 case?

Here specifically we don't, but it is needed in early_init_dt_add_memory_hyp()
to distinguish the overflow case from the first memblock being added.

Fair enough, but if you figure out a way for hyp_memblock_nr to be unsigned,
I think that would be preferable.
