The problem about 64M, is only when you have for example two banks of
32M with two different chips select. In that case you have that
situation. Instead, if you have only one bank of 64M (512Mbit sdram)
attached for example with the chip select 3, then you have this situation:

0x0000_0000 - 0x007F_FFFF
0x0100_0000 - 0x017F_FFFF
0x0200_0000 - 0x027F_FFFF
0x0300_0000 - 0x037F_FFFF
0x0400_0000 - 0x047F_FFFF
0x0500_0000 - 0x053F_FFFF
0x0600_0000 - 0x067F_FFFF
0x0700_0000 - 0x077F_FFFF

In such case that's no problem.
