x86: set PAE PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT to 44 bits.

When a 64-bit x86 processor runs in 32-bit PAE mode, a pte can
potentially have the same number of physical address bits as the
64-bit host ("Enhanced Legacy PAE Paging").  This means, in theory,
we could have up to 52 bits of physical address in a pte.

The 32-bit kernel uses a 32-bit unsigned long to represent a pfn.
This means that it can only represent physical addresses up to 32+12=44
bits wide.  Rather than widening pfns everywhere, just set 2^44 as the
Linux x86_32-PAE architectural limit for physical address size.
