Subject: [PATCH 1/3] add phys_addr_t for holding physical addresses

Add a kernel-wide "phys_addr_t" which is guaranteed to be able to hold
any physical address.  By default it equals the word size of the
architecture, but a 32-bit architecture can set ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT
if it needs a 64-bit phys_addr_t.
