If we change from bit60 to bit12, pmd_pfn will return an incorrect pfn, 
and it seems that modifying pmd_pfn accordingly is not a good idea.

Hi Anshuman,
   What's your opinion about this suggestion? I think arm64 architecture 
  has similar problems. Why do you choose bit59 instead of bit12--bit20?
