Okay, now we have an interesting case. The IP is quite unlikely be used on
ARM64, but my patches made the clear picture about use of PAGE_SIZE here.

So, I see at least the following options to mitigate the above, i.e.:
 1/ reduce driver scope to X86
 2/ fix the variables to be wider type to be able to hold PAGE_SIZE > 4k
 3/ switch to custom PAGE_SIZE / _SHIFT / _MASK and accompanying macros

And I still consider 3/ is silly move because as we see the driver was
never assumed to work with big page sizes (besides unsigned short type
here, PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_MASK in the original code was as is and on ARM64
they compiled to 0 values w/o warnings, effectively make the driver
improperly functioning anyway).
