I don't think it's been clear that target_phys_addr_t has a
width which might not be the width of the target's physical
addresses (as opposed to it having a width that's unspecified
because you don't know what target you're running on and
therefore don't know how big its physical addresses are).

It might be worth adding a note to HACKING that
target_phys_addr_t is guaranteed to be able to hold a
physical address but might be bigger than one.
