Subject: [PATCH] tg3: fix MMIO for PPC 44x platforms

The driver stores the PCI resource addresses into 'unsigned long' variable
before calling ioremap_nocache() on them. This warrants kernel oops when the
registers are accessed on PPC 44x platforms which (being 32-bit) have PCI
memory space mapped beyond 4 GB.

The arch/ppc/ kernel has a fixup in ioremap() that creates an illusion that
the PCI memory resource is mapped below 4 GB, but arch/powerpc/ code got rid
of this trick, having instead CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT enabled.

Reposting the patch with the log and summary corrected.
This is the same issue as the one that has been recently addressed by commits
3c34ac36ac1084e571ef9b6fb1d6a5b10ccc1fd0 (e1000: Fix for 32 bits platforms with
64 bits resources) and c976816b6e901341ec3c4653147316c15549a1c4 (siimage: fix
kernel oops on PPC 44x).  The patch has only been compile tested though...
