SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] fsldma: add support to 36-bit physical address

I must still be missing something. I'm looking at the description of
the SATR register in the MPC8572 RM, and it shows this:

0 - 3 | 4 - 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 - 11 | 12 - 15 | 16-21 | 22-31
--- | STFLOWLVL | SPCIORDER | SSME | STRANSINT | SREADTTYPE | --- | ESAD

The most that we can extend ESAD to is 16 bits, for a total of a
48-bit physical address. Where are the other 16 bits supposed to go?
