Seriously pick an order and stick with it. I would suggest keeping the
hardware order and then you can do:

return (lam & 0x3) << X86_CR3_LAM_U57;

return (cr3 >> X86_CR3_LAM_U57) & 0x3;

and call it a day, or something.

I'm still not liking LAM(e), I'm thikning it's going to create more
problems than it solves.
