You might want to add the actual compiler warnings to the commit
message:

arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c: In function ‘setup_efi_pci’:
arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c:259:9: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c:262:10: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c:348:17: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c:350:29: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]

And yes, I see them in all{mod,yes}config builds here too. The issue,
AFAICT, is that setup_data is __u64 to obviously accomodate 8-byte
pointers on x86-64 but on 32-bit they're half the size. And we obviously
cannot change struct setup_data since this is an ABI so I'd guess the
casts to native pointer sizes are ok. So
