On arm64, it is 0x0000ffffffffffff ((1 << 48) - 1) when using 48bit VA,
but goes up when using 52-bit VA[0].

I did try updating the #ifdef but then hit the asm block in
vsyscall(). Also, the test would be still fail to build on other
architectures.

While support for architectures is added, it would be good to not have
the compiler throw an error on unsuspecting kselftest users.
