Currently, we rely on the fact that exceptions can be trivially classified by applying a mask/value pair to the syndrome value reported via the ESR register, but this will no longer be true once we enable support for 5 level paging. So introduce a couple of helpers that encapsulate this mask/value pair matching, and wire them up in the code. No functional change intended, the actual handling of translation level -1 will be added in a subsequent patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
