Nit: no need for the braces, the definitions below don't use it
either.

Mentioning the addresses is a little weird. IMHO this would be
a much nicer place to explain the high-level memory layout, including
maybe a little ASCII art. Also we could have one #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
for both related values. Last but not least instead of saying that
something should be dividable it would be nice to have a BUILD_BUG_ON
to enforce it.
Either way we are late in the cycle, so I guess this is ok for now:

But I'd love to see this area improved a little further as it is full
of mine fields.
