I wouldn't like to make that assumption.  I've come across IOMMUs (maybe
on parisc?  powerpc?) that like to encode fun information in the top
few bits.  So we could get it down to 52 bits, but I don't think we can
get all the way down to 32 bits.  Also, we need to keep the bottom bit
clear for PageTail, so that further constrains us.

Anyway, I like the "two unsigned longs" approach I posted yesterday,
but thanks for the suggestion.
