So I noticed something else. PHYS_64BIT is not defined in
mpc85xx_smp_defconfig. This means that if we want to build a 36-bit
kernel, we need to have "select PHYS_64BIT" in the Kconfig for that board.
This is what we have today for the P1022DS.
However, that select statement also means that we can't build a 32-bit
kernel. This is a problem for mpc85xx_defconfig, because that defconfig
includes support for the MPC8540ADS. The 8540 has an e500v1 core which
doesn't support MAS7 (i.e. no 36-bit physical addresses).
So any patch that removes "select PHYS_64BIT" from an mpc85xx_defconfig
board must also turn on that option in the defconfig. The patches from me
and Leo don't do that.
