With the Linux kernel now limiting 32-bit systems to 4GB of memory even with the 'HIGHMEM' Kconfig option, an issue was uncovered where if the system was still populated with more memory than addressable by 32-bit systems, the kernel would crash
- Fix 32-bit kernel boot crash if passed physical memory with more than 32 address bits - Work around build bug in certain limited build environments It's a small but important fix to avoid kernel crashes with any remaining 32-bit systems out there that are populated with more than 4GB of memory.
