It's intended.  The VM is running in 32-bit PAE mode, and Table 4-7 of
the Intel manual says:

Table 4-7. Use of CR3 with PAE Paging
Bit Position(s)	Contents
4:0		Ignored
31:5		Physical address of the 32-Byte aligned
		page-directory-pointer table used for linear-address
		translation
63:32		Ignored (these bits exist only on processors supporting
		the Intel-64 architecture)

I'll queue a revert of this patch.
