Instead, the fields of `mmpt` are `WARL` in the normal way, when so indicated
in <<sdid-32>> and <<sdid-64>>.

The `mmpt.PPN` refers to an `MPTL3` table or an `MPTL2` table based on physical
address width (`PAW`). For 56 >= `PAW` > 46, `MPTL3` table must be of size
`2^(PAW-43)` bytes and naturally aligned to that sized byte boundary. For 46
>= `PAW` > 32 the `MPTL2` table must be of size 2^(`PAW`-22) bytes for
`Smmpt46` and `Smmpt34`, and must be naturally aligned to that sized byte
boundary. In these modes, the lowest two bits of the physical page number
(`mmpt.PPN`) in `mmpt` always read as zeros.
`mmpt.PPN` refers to an `MPTL3` table or an `MPTL2` table based on `MODE`. The
top-level MPT may be smaller than the size given in <<Smmpt-rw>> for that table
level, provided that it contains enough entries to cover the platform's
physical address width (`PAW`), which is the number of bits needed to express
the platform-defined maximum-addressable physical address.

For `PAW` >= 56 a top-level `MPTL3` table must be complete; for 56 > `PAW` >=
46 the table must contain at least `2^(PAW-46)` entries; otherwise it must
contain at least one entry. For `PAW` >= 46 (34 for `Smmpt34`) a top-level
`MTTL2` table must be complete; otherwise for `PAW` >= 25 the table must
contain at least `2^(PAW-25)` entries; otherwise it must contain at least one
entry. The top-level table must be naturally aligned to its size, or aligned to
a 4 KiB page boundary, whichever is greater.

The number of `SDID` bits is `UNSPECIFIED` and may be zero. The number of
implemented `SDID` bits, termed `SDIDLEN`, may be determined by writing one to
