Other jits use the same/similar schemes (mozilla's ionmonkey is one

I do not think this issue is inherent to all JIT implements, but rather to
luajit with its NaN-tagging scheme [1] which packs different types of objects
in a 8-byte. It works well with x86_64 that limits the VMA to 47-bits, but
things get messy with large VMA support. Luajit work around this issue
Digital circuits are made from analog parts.

FWIW: OpenJDK assumes 48 bit virtual address. There is no inherent
reason for this other than we do
movz/movk/movk
to form an address. It is relatively trivial to change this to
movz/movk/movk/movk

This is a summary of discussions we had on IRC between kernel and toolchain
engineers regarding support for JITs and 52-bit virtual address space (mostly
in the context of LuaJIT, but this concerns other JITs too).
The summary is that we need to consider ways of reducing the size of VA for a
