(7) xksseg (64-bit kernel mode, current supervisor space)
When KX = 1 in the Status register and bits 63 and 62 of the virtual address space are 01, the xksseg address
space is selected; it is the 1-Tbyte (240 bytes) current supervisor address space. The virtual address is extended
with the contents of the 8-bit ASID field to form a unique virtual address.
(8) xkphys (64-bit kernel mode, physical spaces)
When the KX = 1 in the Status register and bits 63 and 62 of the virtual address space are 10, the virtual address
space is called xkphys and selected as either cached or uncached. If any of bits 58 to 32 of the address is 1, an
attempt to access that address results in an address error.
