Well, not really. Max physical memory is advertised via ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1. I
found some old R82 technical manual (you can surely find the latest one and
provide reference to it - not the web page) and indeed it mentions PARange as
0b0010 which is 40bit which is 1TB. With the R82 being the only CPU model
implementing ARMv8R-AArch64, that's solid information.
