As you mentioned, although my architecture has a 64-bit bus, the only way to
perform a 64-bit bus access is through the floating point processor. Do you
see any reason why I couldn't just perform 2 32-bit operations?

I will take physmap.c as an example and make our own version. However good
sample code would include the proper headers if they reference conditional
defines. (slight jab...sorry) I believe that there are 3 files under map
that include the conditional compile and none of them include the proper
header file. Perhaps this just indicates that the conditional should be
moved to another file or change to use the autoconfig defines?
