I think a smaller guest physical address width *should* be allowed. However, perhaps the pedantic adherence to the architectural specification could be turned on or off per-VM? And, if we're going to be pedantic, I think we should go all the way and get MOV-to-CR3 correct. Does the typical guest care about whether or not setting any of the bits 51:46 in a PFN results in a fault?
