So you're not supporting 52bit addresses, as you're forcing the bottom
addresses to zero.

So you claim to support indirect tables on collections too? That's
pretty odd. I'd be happier if you filtered that out on collections.

Also, you're supporting any page size (which is fine on its own), but
also not doing anything regarding the width of the address (52bits are
only valid for 64kB ITS pages). This is completely inconsistent with
what you're doing with GITS_CBASER.

I'd suggest you reduce the scope to a single supported page size (64kB),
and decide whether you want to support 52bit PAs or not. Either way
would be valid, but it has to be consistent across the board.

It may not be of great importance right now, but it is going to be
really critical for save/restore, and we'd better get it right from the
beginning.

It is a bit odd to advertize the indirect flag as a reset value, but I
don't see anything that indicates it is not allowed...
