the problem here is, that in the 64bit case the macros work on every address
while in 32bit only the first 512MB address space is covered. So there
is a reason to not expose TO_CAC/TO_UNCAC for 32bit.

Which leaves the problem how to handle all the CKSEG[01]ADDR()
cases nicer for 64bit... I'd prefer an extra macro/inline function
which handles 32bit and 64bit accordingly. Not sure about the name
for it, but maybe something like

CKSEG[01]ADDR_OR_64BIT()

That would at least make clear (to me) this thing is special and might
return a XPHYS uncached address.
