It was actually the opposite, where userspace provides '0' and caused '63 - 0 + 1'
to overflow.  KVM controls the upper bound, and rsvd_bits() explicitly handles
'end < start', so an absurdly large maxpa is handled correctly.

Aleady fixed by Paolo in commit 2f80d502d627 ("KVM: x86: fix shift out of bounds
reported by UBSAN").

And rob Paolo of his crazy^Wbrilliant bit math shenanigans? :-D
