This won't help the same situation at the top of a 64-bit address space, 
though, and now that we have TTBR1 support for AArch64 format that is 
definitely a thing. Better to just encode the end address as the actual 
end address, i.e. iova + size - 1. We don't lose anything other than the 
ability to encode zero-sized invalidations that don't make sense anyway.
