Ah, true.

Looking at tcg_out_tlb_load():
If I'm reading the pseudo-assembler of the function names correctly, it looks
like in the i386 code we're already masking the address being checked:
     tgen_arithi(s, ARITH_AND + trexw, r1, TARGET_PAGE_MASK | (aligned ? s_mask
: 0), 0);
where  TARGET_PAGE_MASK is a simple all-1's mask in the appropriate upper bits.

Can we just poke some 0's into that mask in the tag locations?

No, because we'd no longer have a sign-extended 32-bit value, as fits in that immediate operand field.  To load the constant you're asking for, we'd need a 64-bit move insn and another register.
