Subject: [PATCH] uio-hv-generic: store physical addresses instead of virtual

gcc warns about the newly added driver when phys_addr_t is wider than
a pointer:

drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c: In function 'hv_uio_mmap':
drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c:71:17: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
    virt_to_phys((void *)info->mem[mi].addr) >> PAGE_SHIFT,
drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c: In function 'hv_uio_probe':
drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c:140:5: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
   = (phys_addr_t)dev->channel->ringbuffer_pages;
drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c:147:3: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
   (phys_addr_t)vmbus_connection.int_page;
drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c:153:3: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
   (phys_addr_t)vmbus_connection.monitor_pages[1];

I can't see why we store a virtual address in a phys_addr_t here,
as the only user of that variable converts it into a physical
address anyway, so this moves the conversion to where it logically
fits according to the types.
