I guess now that we know that it is documented, it is worth it,
to remove '== 48' check and add check for an AMD cpu, and add reference
to this manual.
I am mentioning the 48 bit check because I have seen that AMD just recently
posted 5 level NPT support, so I guess CPUs which > 48 bit max physical address
are also probably on horison.
And long term solution for this I guess is to add these areas to a blacklist
and avoid them.
