As I mentioned previously
(http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/arm-kernel/msg319552.html), just
expose options for the VA space bits rather than the number of levels.
You can still keep the number of levels config options but not visible
in menuconfig (though I think you could also hide them in some header
and avoid config altogether). The VA bits config options can be:
VA_BITS_39 if 4K (3 levels)
VA_BITS_42 if 64K (2 levels)
VA_BITS_47 if 16K (3 levels)
VA_BITS_48 if 4K || 16K || 64K (4/4/3 levels depending on page size)
That's more meaningful to people configuring the kernel.
