I believe some people felt a need to emulate PAE or something which
needed a physical address space of 36 bits, therefore i386 was switched
from 32 bits to 64 bits.

Similar for ppc recently.

Lately there was also some discussion about dropping libhw32 and
target_phys_addr_t altogether and making all devices 64-bit.
