The only use of cpu_has_64bit_addresses is the choice of the ioremap
code base.  Which ioremap code does the R5900 want to use?  If it
doesn't match CONFIG_64BIT having a config option for the ioremap
implementation seems much more sensible, and can be added with the
R5900 patch set (do you have a link to it?).
