If, say, there was a machine with an (instruction and data) word size
of 36 bits, but with only the 30 least significant bits valid for
addresses, would the appropriate value in bfd_arch_info_type be 30 or
36?

Assume further that there was an older version of the architecture
with only 18-bit addresses.  Should that be a different
bfd_arch_info_type, with a distinct machine number?
