 431 
 432            If true, the OpenBoot PROM allocates 64-bit PCI memory addresses to
 433            a PCI device that can support 64-bit addresses.
 434 
 435            This variable is available on SPARC platforms only and is optional.
 436            Some versions of SunOS do not support PCI MEM64 addresses and will
 437            fail in unexpected ways if the OpenBoot PROM allocates PCI MEM64
 438            addresses.
 439 
 440            The default value is system-dependent. If the variable exists, the
 441            default value is appropriate to the lowest version of the SunOS
 442            that shipped with a specific platform.
