Should't this check 0x80000000.eax >= 0x80000008 first?  Or do we just accept
failure if family==0x17 and there's no 0x80000008?  One paranoid option would be
to use the pre-fam17 value, e.g.

         /* Before family 17h, the HyperTransport area is just below 1T. */
         ht_gfn = (1 << 28) - num_ht_pages;
         if (x86_family(eax) < 0x17)
                 goto out;

         eax = 0x80000000;
         cpuid(&eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx);
         max_ext_leaf = eax;

         /* Use the old, conservative value if MAXPHYADDR isn't enumerated. */
         if (max_ext_leaf < 0x80000008)
                 goto out;

Yes, this works for me too. Though in practice I don't think any 64-bit machine ever existed without 0x80000008 (you need it to decide what's a canonical address and what isn't), so that would have to be a 32-bit fam17h machine.

out:
         return min(max_gfn, ht_gfn - 1);

LOL, "& 255", you just couldn't resist, huh?  My version of Rami Code only goes
up to 15.:-)
