I seemed to have missed what this is about entirely. Is there some
place I can look that describes what that is supposed to do? The PPC
4xx boards set PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT because the MMU uses 36 bit
addressing, but the CPU is only 32 bits. I want to make sure this DMA
thing isn't going to cause problems.
