Hmm, it is easy to change unsigned long to phys_addr_t in
early_set_fixmap(), however, ioremap also uses unsigned long for
physical addresses. Do I need to update ioremap functions too?

I mean, is there any chance that over 4GB physical address will
be passed to ioremap? If not, I just change early_set_fixmap()
and __early_set_fixmap().

Thanks,
