Possibly. ARM64 does not define page levels (as in the enum for page
levels) at this time but that can be added easily. Adding level to
lookup_address() for arm will make it uniform with x86 but is there any
other rationale besides that? Do you see a future use for this
information? The only other architecture I could see that defines
lookup_address() is sh but it uses it for trapped io only.

Khalid
