I guess you mean 'PT64_LEVEL_BITS' not 'PT_DIRECTORY_LEVEL' here :-)

It should be q << 8 here? it hardly understand, take leve = 1 for example,
32-bit guest PTE page table mapping range is 2^(10+12), PAE's PTE page table
mapping range is 2^(9+12), so, i think it's quadrant << 9 here, and other
function like FNAME(prefetch_page), FNAME(sync_page) also are q << 9

Sorry for the double semicolons here, will fix it

Thanks,
Xiao
