The test only runs on powerpc64 and x86_64. I didn't realize powerpc64
is using fewer pagetable levels. I am inclined to just change v4 so that
it checks the PGTABLE_LEVELS config on x86_64 and accepts any powerpc64,
because I don't know how to check whether a specific powerpc64 system
supports addresses over 1<<47. (The test already rejects all other
architectures.)

Does that seem reasonable?
