I remember stumbling over such a related problem as well a few
weeks ago. With a mismatch of address-cells size and non-64bit
platform support. But I got distracted from this issue at that
time.

Thanks for looking into this. This change looks good to me. Please
send a patch to the list.

Thanks,
Stefan
