I looked up the architecture, and found:

- The pre-MIPS32r1 cores only support 32-bit addressing
- octeon selects PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT but no longer
  supports 32-bit kernels
- Alchemy and netlogic (XLR, XLP) have 36-bit addressing
- CONFIG_XPA implies 40-bit addressing

We should run it by the MIPS maintainers, but I think this patch
is sufficient:
