The Octeon IO space regions are significantly larger than a 32bit kernel
could tlb map easily. The entire range takes 49 bits to address. As a
not particularly clean, but working alternative, we enable 64bit
addressing in the kernel and used XKPHYS to access IO. Every access was
surrounded by a local_irq_save/local_irq_restore. Since this is ugly to
the extreme, maybe we should drop being able to boot a 32bit kernel on
Octeon until something better is worked out.
