Actually, kvm is (2^41 - 2^33).  The 8G at the top of the kernel virtual
address space is reserved for the magic page table recursive mapping.
Also for next generation alphas (21264), I expect to support 4 level page
tables which will allow 2^52 user and (2^51 - 2^43) kernel address spaces
with the 8k page size.  If the page size is increased to 32k, the entire
64bit address space can be covered.
