"AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual, Volume 2: System Programming"
gives a different story.
Only bits 52-63 are reserved (MBZ), although for PDEs and PTEs (but not
PDPEs, it would seem), bit 63 is the NX bit.
However, "The AMD x86-64 Architecture Programmers Overview" says that
"bits 63:52 in all page-table entry formats are available for use by
system software".
