It is. You can read 64 bits in two chunks of 32 bits each.  There  is
actually  little chance that the upper and the lower half of your bus
will use different flash chips.

No problem. I think there are boards doing exactly this.

As usual, this being a 1.3.x release, I haven't  even  compiled  this
kernel yet. So if it works, you should be doubly impressed.
