Could you please get rid of comment with reference for PAE40/HIGHMEM region in this patch?
It gives wrong expectations that if we uncomment it and enable PAE40 in config we'll get working system.
But it isn't true - we also need to remap AXI apertures appropriately.

Otherwise kernel will crush somewhere. Moreover kernel will crush for different reasons in case of launch
via U-boot and via MDB (because we remap AXI apertures in U-boot for internal purposes).

If you really want to keep this - I can send you patch with AXI apertures remapping we need to apply firstly.

Thanks.
