Hmmm, well some of those platforms, such as sh64, like the current 
default behaviour as it is.

Meanwhile, those that do not like it have the option of overriding it 
using integer_to_address. I assume those targets that don't have a 64 
bit variant only care about this on 64 bit hosts, so only mips bothers 
to implement integer_to_address so far (AFAICS).

Perhaps the correct fix is to define a default address width for each 
target variant, but that seems like more work than is really necessary.

Should I post my patch or work up something else?
