Thanks for the heads-up, Rodolph. So, should arm64 work exactly like x64? i.e.
use a 46 bit hint? Chris, where did you get the 48/38 bit constraint?

I should have been more accurate. The architecture support 48 bits addresses, but how many bits is available will depend on the kernel config: with 4k pages and 3 level of page table then you "only" have 40 bits of addresses, which is probably where the initial number comes from. The kernel can be configured to have a wider range of addresses using more page table levels or using 64k pages. I guess going for the lowest denominator is the right thing to do. Updating the
comment would be good though.
