Default DMA-reachable address constraints to the whole address space, and
narrow these in the various ipXX_machdep.c. On IP22-like systems, narrow them to 28 bit physical addresses, but unpessimize this by extending this to 32 bit after autoconf, if no 28-bit limited hpc(4) device has been found. Since physical memory on these systems start at 128MB, this means that Indigo systems with more than 128MB memory will behave correctly (and so will Indy systems with E++ boards and more than 128MB memory).

-revisions 1 and 1.5 support DMA buffer pointers of only 28 bits
-and may therefore only address 256 megabytes of memory.
-The R4k Indigo and Indy are the only systems that support sufficient
-memory to illustrate this drawback.
-A software workaround is not currently implemented.
-Revision 3, with 32-bit pointers, does not have this limitation.
