The conflict is the type of 'phys'. In arch/um that's an unsigned long
rather than a phys_addr_t as it is elsewhere.

If I convert that to a phys_addr_t the build goes along happily.

Should we change set_fixmap_offset back to a macro function for now, or
is it simple/correct to change arch/um to use phys_addr_t in
__set_fixmap?

Thanks,
Mark.
