Yes (though you mean "under an AArch64 translation regime"). Conversely, the
only fault reported at level 0 under an AArch32 translation regime is
the AddressSize fault (for bad addresses in TTBR0/1), which we don't
currently implement.

There's also a code path later in the function that does
    level = va_size == 64 ? 0 : 1;

but I'm not sure it's worth rearranging that code to avoid the
duplication of "what level do we report this kind of fault at?".
