OK, so:

config WANT_PHYS_64BIT
select PHYS_64BIT if !EMBEDDED

config PHYS_64BIT
default y if WANT_PHYS_64BIT

...and "select WANT_PHYS_64BIT" on boards that normally have 36-bit
address maps?

What about 86xx?  It looks like PHYS_64BIT can't be enabled if it's
sharing a kernel image with 82xx or 83xx (why these specific SoCs but
not 603 in general?).
