Ah, right, I think I understand you :) So we'd better remove these lines:

            /* AArch64 reports these as level 0 faults.
             * AArch32 reports these as level 1 faults.
             */
            level = va_size == 64 ? 0 : 1;
            fault_type = translation_fault;

Kind regards,
