note that accessing 64bit physical addresses is quite simple and
do-able in a 32 bit kernel.  the ultrasparc does this often when
it is running in 32 bit mode.


infact, that is why we added paddr_t, to allow it to address
ranges outside a normal 32 bit address.  user-space has no idea
about this, of course, as it should not.
