A paravirtualised kernel needs to have its PAGE_MASK widened. This is a bug
we've bumped into once or twice.

Even a native kernel ought to honor the physical address width the
processor supports rather than arbitrarily masking off bits just because
original PAE only supported 36 bits.

Current 2.6 is too strict about this.  I'll queue up a patch to fix it.
