Even if you were on such a machine, the discontiguity
(discontiguousness?) wouldn't ever be reflected in the pseudo-physical
memory map, would it? So since this variable controls the maximum size
of the p2m (rather than the m2p) it doesn't need to be larger than the
maximum sane 32 bit guest size (<64G).
