What do you think is the best way to handle such cases ? May be I could add
some checks where we get those addresses and handle it before we use this
macro ?

I thought the 64K_PAGES is not kernel page size, but the page-size configured
by the "requester" for ITS. So, it doesn't really mean CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES.
But the other way around, we can't handle 52bit address unless CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES
is selected. Also, if the guest uses a 4K page size and uses a 48 bit address,
we could potentially mask Bits[15:12] to 0, which is not nice.

So I still think we need to have a special macro for handling addresses with 64K
page size in ITS.
