Well, it's mostly a matter of consistency. The only case where it ever matters
is if we wanted to emulate H_ENTER in QEMU - for tracing or debugging purposes.
But if we leave it halfway implemented like this, you might get the impression
it could work, but it doesn't.

Well, with TCG you can run a 64-bit guest on a 32-bit host system, right?

Yup. It took me a while to figure out that the patches are doing "the right
thing". That code could really use some comments that explain what's going on -
like the semantics of htab_mask (mask of the PTEG, will be shifted by 7 for
physical address later), what htab_shift really is (log2 of the HTAB size), etc
:).
