Not everything will work with more than 512G: Anything that wants
to access the guest's pfn_to_mfn_frame_list_list won't work, as
there's no specification of how more than a page worth of these top
level pointers should be expressed. Affected would be (afaict) save/
restore/migrate, kexec, and dumping of a crashed guest.
