That's what I'd expect - I put the heuristic in the i386 machdep code.
If you want to add it for amd64, or a different one that matches those
platforms, that sounds sensible. We could also have a common ruotine
somewhere, since i386 and amd64 seem to share a lot.
But, with amd64 having more address space, the whole notion of using 1G
or 2G as the rbus place seems odd.
