    Define a config variable for 64 bit address capability
    
    For the most part, we don't need 64 bit addressing. In the future,
    it will be more important, but it's useful to have an indicator
    that a CPU can even run in that mode.

+	  Many of the CPUs in our tree can support 64-bit addresses.
+	  Currently, we don't use this capability on any of them.
+	  This variable indicates whether it is even possible,
+	  for a given CPU, to run in 64 bit mode. For the subset of
+	  CPUs which can support 64 bit mode it can be overridden.
