level is passed into all the higher level functions as int. That's why the
"level >= 0" comparison was previously there. Of course no users should be
calling this with a negative value so I'll guess that I was trying to guard
against seeing a valid level -1 in future with 6 level/4K D128 pgtables.
Given everything else uses signed int for level, perhaps we should be consistent
here too?
