if creating a fake page at this address is wrong way then tell me the
following
code snippet is acceptable to you as another workaround
addr = env->lladdr;
addr &= qemu_host_page_mask;
page_addr = addr & TARGET_PAGE_MASK;
start_exclusive();
now addr is rounded to 32 bit value! what would you like to say?
