What is the symptom? How is it failing currently?

- Failure occurs in the first check in MmIsBufferOutsideMmValid () function 
when using longer address.

Which system? What does the memory map look like?

- It is not productized yet so cannot give any more info. However it seems that 
specific system is not relevant here.
  Current definition assumes max 36 bits for AARCH64 which is not the case 
anymore.
