ppc440spe runs with CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT?

If we do this then we need to also change md to limit the number of
allowed disks based on the kernel stack size.  Because with 256 disks
a 4K stack can be consumed by one call to async_pq ((256 sources in
raid5.c + 256 sources async_pq.c) * 8 bytes per source on 64-bit).
