Good point, will fix.

I expect it to be buggy.

Right. But only >= GPAW-1 as shared bit is the MSB within GPAW:
physical_mask &= GENMASK_ULL(td_info.gpa_width - 2, 0);
'2' here smells bad, but well...
Given that physical_mask is now contiguous we can truncate anything from
e820 that cannot be addressed with adjusted __PHYSICAL_MASK:
iff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/e820.c b/arch/x86/kernel/e820.c

Does it look reasonable?
