The documentation I'm using:
"Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Development Manual,
Volume 3A: System Programming Guide, Part 1"
"3.8 36-Bit Physical Addressing Using The PAE Paging Mechanism"
Lists bits 36-63 as "must be zero".
(For i386, or x86_64 running in 32-bit mode.)
"3.10 PAE-Enabled Paging in IA-32e Mode"
Lists bits 40-51 as "must be zero".
Lists bits 52 to 62 as "available".
Lists bit 63 as "EXB" (i.e. the NX bit).
(For x86_64 running in 64-bit mode.)
HTH,
