If it's allowed to go wrong for invalid input, then you don't even need
to consider the page size at all, except if you care about
micro-optimising out a couple of instructions. For valid page-aligned
addresses, [51:48] and [15:12] can never *both* be nonzero, therefore
just this should be fine for all granules:
- (((phys) & GENMASK_ULL(47, 16)) | (((phys) >> 48) & 0xf) << 12)
+ (((phys) & GENMASK_ULL(47, 0)) | (((phys) >> 48) & 0xf) << 12)
