I have one similar patch to remove the "select PHYS_64BIT".
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/132351/
That one doesn't update the defconfigs, which means that the default
kernel will not have PHYS_64BIT enabled.
I think it is not necessary to enable the 64BIT, if customer want to
enable it, he can do it manually.
I agree with Changming that we shouldn't setting PHYS_64BIT by default.  Fo=
r the platforms covered by the mpc85xx_defconfig, most user won't need the =
PHYS_64BIT.  We shouldn't set the one with worse performance and unnecessar=
y to most people as default.  Also all these platforms supports 32-bit mode=
