The next patch makes a difference between artificial memory regions
(containers and aliases) which can have arbitrary placement and width,
and the final view of the address space which cannot have a full 64-bit
size.

63 bits probably would work, but I preferred to be safe since 62 is the
largest used by other targets.

It should be fixable, but if it is not a problem I wouldn't worry much
about it.
