It's 46 or 47 depending on PAGE_SIZE (4K or 64K):

  $ git grep "define DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW_USER64" arch/powerpc/include/asm/task_size_64.h
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/task_size_64.h:#define DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW_USER64        TASK_SIZE_128TB
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/task_size_64.h:#define DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW_USER64        TASK_SIZE_64TB
