No, I need to find the index of the 4K fragment within the system page
(64K in the case of PPC) so I need to mask out the higher bits. I
assume you are seeing this when building on x86. When the system page
size is 4K then n will always equal zero but in the case of larger
page sizes (e.g. ppc), n could have non-zero values.
