The default kernel should always be the compatible with as much as
possible. Disabling PHYS_64BIT by default means that the default kernel
will not work with a 36-bit DTS. If you attempt to boot such a kernel
with a 36-bit DTS, there will be no text output. Most people will not
know why it's not working.
So the safest option is for PHYS_64BIT to be enabled by default. That
way, the kernel will always work.
