I must still be missing something.  I'm looking at the description of
the SATR register in the MPC8572 RM, and it shows this:

0 - 3 |   4 - 5   |     6     |   7  |   8 - 11  |   12 - 15  | 16-21 | 22-31
 ---  | STFLOWLVL | SPCIORDER | SSME | STRANSINT | SREADTTYPE |  ---  |  ESAD

The most that we can extend ESAD to is 16 bits, for a total of a
48-bit physical address.  Where are the other 16 bits supposed to go?
