I saw some of the early review requests to replace hard coded values
with defines so that things made more sense.  And you've done a lot of
that quite well.  However, this one is not so helpful.  Sure, it's an
address shift, but the define gives no context as to why these shifts
are what they are.  Someone from the x86 world might mistakenly think
the 12 shift is all about page size shifting, but on arm you have
multiple different page sizes and 12 may not work at all.  So, some
context in the name for these items, or else a comment above these
defines letting us know what's special about these three shift values
would be helpful.
