This should have been GENMASK(51, 48), though it doesn't make any
difference and may work better with the change below:

> + int max_msb = (dst_addr & GENMASK(52, VA_BITS)) ? 51 : (VA_BITS - 1);

So when VA_BITS == 52, the mask is 0 and we set max_msb to 51.

I wonder, could we use fls64() instead here?
