But the code we're talking about is:

		/* to in the WQE == the offset into the page */
		wqe->recv.sgl[i].to = cpu_to_be64(((u32) wr->sg_list[i].addr) %
				(1UL << (12 + page_size[i])));

so it seems the top address bits don't matter unless page_size[i] is at
least 20 -- in which case using 1UL to shift overflows on 32 bits anyway...

Yeah, I rolled the fix into the "offset needs to be u64" patch, it
should be in linux-next by now (or at least in my for-next branch).
