*If* we make it dependent on machine types at all, then please also make
it versioned for Q35.

Very good point to raise; "39 bits physical" on your workstation *does*
imply that EPT is limited exactly the same way. I had run into this very
problem while working on 64GB+ RAM enablement in OVMF. (Back then my
laptop had: "address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual".)
