On MIPS it would be a per platform thing. I'd prefer if RESOURCES_64BIT
was enabled through reverse dependencies and never visible as a user
option.

The same is true on PPC32. Its a per platform thing. However, I'm not sure if we could hide it from the user. There are cases on the same HW platform that you want to run with just 32-bit phys (for performance).
