This patch adds an architecture defined override for ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT.
On PAE systems, the absence of this override causes bootmem to incorrectly
limit itself to 32-bit addressable physical memory.

It looks like mm/bootmem.c casts this to unsigned long anyway, so the
patch doesn't have any effect on its own.
