So on 32bit systems phys_addr_t != the same size as (void *)?  How is
that possible?  We also are doing an explicit cast here, how does this
not work?

Ah, do you have CONFIG_X86_PAE enabled?  That would cause that mess,
ick.

Perhaps disable it if PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is not enabled?

Chris, can you make up a patch?  Odd that this didn't show up in 0-day
before this, does it not test 32bit builds anymore?

thanks,
