Regardless of the name of the new property, it should be defined to allow a different number of address cells to represent an address in virtual address space.How about you check whether the "64-bit" property exists in the CPU nodes?
That seemed like the right thing until I realized, its still specifying the physical size, not the virtual size. I don't think we can avoid making a new xxx-cells property for the virt addr size. Ben suggested adding #virt-address-cells to the root node. I like the name but prefer putting it directly under "/cpus" because the virt addr size is really determined by the cpu. It doesn't matter that much to me, though. Comments? Mark
