There are three places for 32 bit Fast memory on the A3000:

$07000000-$07ffffff	Built-in 16MB Fast, starts at the top and works down
			as you increase memory amounts.
$08000000-$0fffffff	Reserved 128K space for Coprocessor Slot memory toys.
$10000000-$7fffffff	Zorro III Expansion Space

So, for the moment at least, you can get away with 31 bit addressing if you
must, but anything less could get you into trouble on the A3000.
