 __PHYSICAL_MASK is only used to mask out non-pfn bits from page table
entries.  I don't really see how it's related to virtual space
construction.

 Thanks.  :-)

 I think PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK and PTE_FILE_MAX_BITS should also be
updated.  How about the following patch?  Compile & boot tested.


 This patch cleans up __PHYSICAL_MASK and related constants.

- __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT is changed to 52 to reflect architectural
  physical address limit.

- PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK is fixed to properly mask pfn bits of page table
  entries.

- PTE_FILE_MAX_BITS is fixed to properly reflect available bits in a
  page table entry (40bits).

- Macros dealing with page table entries are modified to universally
  use PTE_MASK (which equals PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK) when extracting pfn
  for consistency.
