mtrr's are a 32bit thing anyway IIRC.

I still would place the 64bit window aligned.  Given that 36 physical
address lines (-> 64G address space) used to be quite common until
recently I think reserving 16G from 64G downwards would be a good pick.
 For guests with *lots* of memory we could move the hole to be just
below 1T and maybe also make it larger.

cheers,
  Gerd
