Even though 48 bit PA representation in TTBRx_EL1 does not involve shifting
partial bits like 52 bit variant does, they sill need to be masked properly
for correctness. Hence mask 48 bit PA with TTBRx_EL1_BADDR_MASK.
There is no need for the address "to be masked properly for
correctness".

We added masking for 52-bit PAs due to the need to shuffle the bits
around. There is no need for that when using 48-bit PAs, since the
address must be below 2^48, and the address must be suitably aligned.

If any bits are set outside of this mask, that is a bug in the caller.
