Catalin/Will,

This is not a patch mean to be applied, but a query about whether there
is any reason to not enable 48-bit VA by default in the arm64 defconfig.

The Freescale LS2085A physical memory map requires 48-bit VA in Linux for the
reasons mentioned in [1].

Based on the comment in [1] by Catalin, it seems that the intent
is to turn this on by default.

Is there any issues anyone sees with a patch that does this:

diff --git a/arch/arm64/configs/defconfig b/arch/arm64/configs/defconfig
