minor nit: It may be worth adding a comment here, how we got this magic
number 8. We could say:

Open coded version of ARM64_HW_PGTABLE_LEVELS(ia_bits - 4) (accounting 
for the concatenation of upto 16 tables in entry level) for RMM Stage2.

nit: Why is this 3 - start_level and not 4 ? Though that is compensated 
by the "levels + 1" below, hence the calculation is correct.

minor nit: Do we need to try undelegating the other pages ? We could 
make that WARN_ON_ONCE() too.
