If you want a type for that, can't you give it a sensible (ie
different) name? target_phys_addr_t is pretty clearly "the type
of a physical address for this target" and having it actually
be something else is just going to be confusing.

As a thought experiment, you could take an existing 32 bit
target and define a new board model that happens to have eg a
new pci controller on it. It doesn't seem right that that
should cause the system's idea of this type width to change,
it's just a new device model and board. So if you have this
type I think it ought to be max(bus size of widest bus qemu
supports).
