To traverse the page tables further and take a look at a level 3 table, we can take the mapped frame of an entry convert it to a virtual address again:
```rust
// in the for loop in src/main.rs
use x86_64::{structures::paging::PageTable, VirtAddr};
if !entry.is_unused() {
println!("L4 Entry {}: {:?}", i, entry);
// get the physical address from the entry and convert it

For looking at the level 2 and level 1 tables, we repeat that process for the level 3 and level 2 entries. As you can imagine, this gets very verbose quickly, so we don't show the full code here.
