I still disagree with this 7. Per the letter of the architecture, it
is wrong and should be 0xf, just like any other property described
in an ID register.

There is also no such thing as an IPA range in the architecture.
Everything is PA. The only thing that actually describe an IPA
range is what KVM makes of it.

Overall, this patch confuses me more than anything else. I'd rather
you fix ID_AA64MMFR0_PARANGE_MASK to have the right value and be
done with it.
