I thin the range of the addresses do not matter.
Took me a while to understand maybe rephrase that:

In case we have a region 1 the following calculation
(31 + ((gmap->asce & _ASCE_TYPE_MASK) >> 2)*11)
results in 64. As shifts beyond the size are undefined the compiler is free to use
instructions like sllg. sllg will only use 6 bits of the shift value (here 64)
resulting in no shift at all. That means that ALL addresses will be rejected.

With that this makes sense.
