I don't know. You're right that x86_64 does, at 48 bits.
The alpha system I'm trying to emulate does, at 50 bits.
I guess if IBM agrees wrt p-series and z-series emulation, then
I'd be ok, so long as you add a comment above that structure that
says no existing hw implementation actually uses 63 address bits.
