Thanks, I filed PR port-amd64/NNNNN: `x86 efiboot: bootinfo pointers
truncated when mapped >4GB' <https://gnats.NetBSD.org/NNNNN> to track
this.

I wrote a note about the issue jakllsch@ raised with non-efi boot in
the `Fix' section before I saw what you said about uintptr_t being
32-bit for non-EFI boot.  Feel free to follow up on the PR -- just
send mail with subject `Re: port-amd64/NNNNN: x86 efiboot: bootinfo
pointers truncated when mapped >4GB' to gnats-bugs%NetBSD.org@localhost cc
netbsd-bugs@NetBSD>org -- with clarification, and yes, we should have
a CTASSERT in the non-EFIBOOT case.
