Ah, but you're thinking of LPAE not Mali Magic Page Tables ('inspired
by' LPAE but not actually compatible....) ;) However I do wonder what
will happen when we enable aarch64 page tables in Bifrost.

I would suggest the best option here is to copy mali_kbase and check
against a mask, in kbase[1] we have:

switch (fault_status & AS_FAULTSTATUS_EXCEPTION_CODE_MASK) {

case AS_FAULTSTATUS_EXCEPTION_CODE_TRANSLATION_FAULT:

Where:

#define AS_FAULTSTATUS_EXCEPTION_CODE_MASK (0x7<<3)
#define AS_FAULTSTATUS_EXCEPTION_CODE_TRANSLATION_FAULT (0x0<<3)
