Matt,
It looks like you introduced two config options at one point, however
they dont seem to be used consitently today. I wanted to clarify the
meaning that I'm going to try and go forward with:
CONFIG_PTE_64BIT - we have a 64-bit PTE
CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT - we have larger than 32-bit physical addresses
Its feasible to have support for CONFIG_PTE_64BIT while only supporting
32-bit phys. The intent would be if you needed more flags than you
could handle in the 12 LSBs of the pte.
CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT will only effect things like ioremap, phys_addr_t,
etc.
Do you agree with this interpretation?
