If we're going to start sanitising addresses to respect RES0 bits, then 
we should probably do it properly to cope with the cases where bits 
63:47 are also RES0, and others - I guess we never actually try to do 
something like VAE1IS with a kernel VA, but AFAICS that would still be 
busted even after this patch.
