    x86/paging: restrict physical address width reported to guests
    
    Modern hardware may report more than 48 bits of physical address width.
    For paging-external guests our P2M implementation does not cope with
    larger values. Telling the guest of more available bits means misleading
    it into perhaps trying to actually put some page there (like was e.g.
    intermediately done in OVMF for the shared info page).
    
    While there also convert the PV check to a paging-external one (which in
    our current code base are synonyms of one another anyway).
    
    Fixes: 5dbd60e16a1f ("x86/shadow: Correct guest behaviour when creating 
PTEs above maxphysaddr")
