[PATCH] powerpc: Allow mem=x cmdline to work with 4G+

We're currently choking on mem=4g (and above) due to memory_limit
being specified as an unsigned long. Make memory_limit
phys_addr_t to fix this.

Ben,

This is a fix for something I missed in the earlier large physical patches.
I've tested it on MPC8641 both with and without PHYS_64BIT; I've build
tested on ppc64_defconfig as well.

Cheers,
B
