Great hit Joe :)

Sometimes i am really surprised what code can be found
in the kernal and it is still working.
Having no clue of the code i suspect somebody tries to
check is mask outside the range it should read
PHYS_OFFSET |( SZ_64M - 1)
maybe someone should tell them that
1+1=10 while 1|1=1
It does not seem to matter here (or ... ?)

really perplexed,
