Sorry, thought about that line a bit more, and I think this is just
wrong (took me longer to realize as it should). The old code used this
calculation to print the limit only (in a wrong way), let's recap:

Assume MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS=32

	max_phys = (1ULL << (32 + 1)) - 1 = 0x1ffffffffull;

Ehm, these are 33 bit.

OTOH, old code checked for

	if (max_addr >> MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) {

Which makes sense, because

	0x1ffffffffull >> 32 = 1

results in "true", meaning it's to big, while

	0xffffffffull >> 32 = 0

correctly results in "false", meaning the address is fine.



So, this should just be

const u64 max_phys = 1ULL << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS;

(similarly as calculated in virito-mem code, or in kernel/resource.c)
