  That's 64PB. If you use need
a sparse vmemmap for the entire space it will take 16TB which leaves you
with 63.98PB of address space left. (Similar calculations for other
numbers of address bits.)

We only have 52 bits of virtual space for the kernel with the radix
MMU.

Ok, assuming you only have 52 bits of physical address space: the sparse vmemmap takes 1TB and you're left with 3.9PB of address space for other things. So, again, why doesn't that work? Is my math wrong?
