That doesn't pass strict type check:

include/linux/kernel.h:730:17: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [enabled by default]
  (void) (&_max1 == &_max2);  \
                 ^
arch/x86/mm/srat.c:206:21: note: in expansion of macro ‘max’
  max_possible_pfn = max(max_possible_pfn, PFN_UP(end - 1));

I can change max_possible_pfn to u64 to match PFN_UP(end - 1) type.
