I suppose you'd have something like this then:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c b/arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c
index 70e95d097ef1..15e1735a2e3a 100644

level++;
By making the arrays the same size, the effect of the sentinel seems
clearer to me. It doesn't seem worth 4 bytes (and strictly speaking
those 4 bytes would be there anyway due to padding)...
