I think this 'depth' argument is a mistake. It's synthetic and it's
surely going to be a source of bugs.
The page table dumpers seem to be using this to dump out the "name" of a
hole which seems a bit bogus in the first place. I'd much rather teach
the dumpers about the length of the hole, "the hole is 0x12340000 bytes
long", rather than "there's a hole at this level".
