I meant 36 bit, but I think you have guessed correctly what I mean.
CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT should really be named CONFIG_PHYS_36BIT.

I have put some more effort into understanding how the page tables work,
and came to the following patch. Maybe this addition makes my previous
patch more attractive to Paul.

Correctness not guaranted, I cannot test it on my hardware.
