Nope, don't you read my cover letters? :-D
The selftest at the end allows populating a guest with the max amount of
memory allowed by the underlying architecture. The most I've tested is
~64tb (MAXPHYADDR=46) as I don't have easy access to a system with
MAXPHYADDR=52. The selftest compiles on arm64 and s390x, but otherwise
hasn't been tested outside of x86-64. It will hopefully do something
useful as is, but there's a non-zero chance it won't get past init with
a high max memory. Running on x86 without the TDP MMU is comically slow.

LOL, yes. IIRC I added that because I screwed up computing nr_vcpus and my
test did nothing useful :-)
