FWIW, we use the somewhat obtuse "(shift - 10) / 2" in the SMMUv3 
driver, but that's because we support multiple different granules at 
runtime and want to generate efficient code. Anything based on 
PAGE_SHIFT that resolves to a compile-time constant has no excuse for 
not being written in a clear and obvious manner ;)
