04000000000 isn't the top of the use:

Somehow I managed to convince myself earlier there isn't a bit available 
that would be consistent across archs but now that I recheck the 
04000000000 bit (0x20000000) you propose, it seems to be that nothing is 
using it.

It's not suprising I didn't get the magnitude of those long octal numbers 
right. ...They are such a pain to interpret correctly.
