This patch breaks on my AMD machine with

# cpuid -1 -l 0x80000008
CPU:
   Physical Address and Linear Address Size (0x80000008/eax):
      maximum physical address bits         = 0x30 (48)
      maximum linear (virtual) address bits = 0x30 (48)
      maximum guest physical address bits   = 0x0 (0)


Pre-patch:

# ./dirty_log_test 
Test iterations: 32, interval: 10 (ms)
Testing guest mode: PA-bits:52, VA-bits:48, 4K pages
guest physical test memory offset: 0x7fbffef000
Dirtied 139264 pages
Total bits checked: dirty (135251), clear (7991709), track_next (29789)

Post-patch:

# ./dirty_log_test 
Test iterations: 32, interval: 10 (ms)
Testing guest mode: PA-bits:52, VA-bits:48, 4K pages
Supported guest physical address width: 48
guest physical test memory offset: 0xffffbffef000
