If the last bit is a 1, then the ADI bits will be set instead of cleared. That seems like an unintended consequence given the comment. I am aware of the value of adi_nbits() and of the number of valid bits in a virtual address on the M7 processor, but wouldn't using 'unsigned long' for everything here guarantee the ADI bits get cleared regardless of the state of the last non-adi bit?
Sign extension is the right thing to do. MMU considers values of 0 and 15 for bits 63-60 to be untagged addresses and expects bit 59 to be sign-extended for untagged virtual addresses. The code I added is explicitly meant to sign-extend, not zero out the top 4 bits.
