Subject: [PATCH] x86: amd_iommu: fix nasty bug that caused
	ILLEGAL_DEVICE_TABLE_ENTRY errors

We are on 64-bit so better use u64 instead of u32 to deal with
addresses:

static void __init iommu_set_device_table(struct amd_iommu *iommu)
{
        u64 entry;
  ...
        entry = virt_to_phys(amd_iommu_dev_table);
  ...

(I am wondering why gcc 4.2.x did not warn about the assignment
between u32 and unsigned long.)

Patch is against today's tip/x86/amd-iommu
Joerg is on vacation. That is why I post this patch
directly to you.

Regards,

Andreas
