Okay and it's also documented as 64 bits in the SuperSPARC II Addendum
page A-45 (google for STP1021UG) with a similar 13 valid bits.

Still doesn't mean that we need to carry around about 50 bits of zeros
just to match the documentation, when zero extending from a lower
precision number will give the same result.  In QEMU, the value will be
correctly zero-extended, so it doesn't matter what is used internally.
