I think you dropped this check by mistake.

You need to go this way if level == 1 too.  Otherwise, you would report
bits 6:3 reserved if the hypervisor is using the ignored bit 7 (Table
28-6, Format of an EPT Page-Table Entry).

- rsvd_bits will always be zero here.  You need to check the return
value of ept_rsvd_mask().  Let's call it rsvd_mask in the rest of this
email.

- the test is inverted, you need to check that bits 5:3 are _not_
reserved, hence (rsvd_mask & 0x38) == 0.

- once you do this, the test also covers level 1.

I suggest that you write a testcase for kvm-unit-tests.
