You're actually looking at a pte value, not just an address. The low
12 bits in a pte's contents are not used for addressing but for pte
metadata. In this case, those bits correspond to:
#define _KERNPG_TABLE (_PAGE_PRESENT | _PAGE_RW | _PAGE_ACCESSED |
_PAGE_DIRTY)
from linux/include/asm-i386/pgtable.h.
Cheers,
Stephen
