+64-bit Support
+--------------
+U-Boot supports booting a 64-bit kernel directly and is able to change to
+64-bit mode to do so. It also supports (with CONFIG_EFI_STUB) booting from
+both 32-bit and 64-bit UEFI. However, U-Boot itself is currently always built
+in 32-bit mode. Some access to the full memory range is provided with
+arch_phys_memset().
+
+The development work to make U-Boot itself run in 64-bit mode has not yet
+been attempted. The best approach would likely be to build a 32-bit SPL
+image for U-Boot, with CONFIG_SPL_BUILD. This could then handle the early CPU
+init in 16-bit and 32-bit mode, running the FSP and any other binaries that
+are needed. Then it could change to 64-bit model and jump to U-Boot proper.
+
+Given U-Boot's extensive 64-bit support this has not been a high priority,
+but it would be a nice addition.
