But page is still unsigned long, not unsigned long long...

and just making this second change fixes the warning.

I don't know what the right answer is, but this patch does not look
complete to me.

Back in April there was a discussion about this warning message and the
conclusion was that this driver should be replaced.  See
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/21/232 and its replies.
But we seem to be having problems reaching the EDAC subsystem maintainer
(again cc-ed).
