If we were to use LPAE on a 32-bit system, physical addresses could be 
more than 32-bit. That would imply we should create a physaddr_t type 
rather than relying on unsigned long. Still, I suppose since U-Boot just 
maps RAM (and everything else) 1:1, we'd never use RAM beyond 4GiB, so 
LPAE actually isn't that interesting...
