IMHO, it's better to skip the following checks and return false if it is 
out of long mode.

It's better to describe how LASS treat linear address in compatibility 
mode in changelog or/and in comment,
i.e. for a linear address with only 32 bits (or 16 bits), the processor 
treats bit 63 as if it were 0.
