Actually, if you look at the code without the patch, the #define's are
using "ULL", which means that having the type as u64 is fine with the
change, as u64 is becoming an unsigned long long.

I don't know for sure thus what warning you are trying to fix, could you
paste it ? I suspect it's when passing those flags to a pHyp function
that takes a long, in which case, the proper fix would probably be to be
consistent the other way around, ie, make the pHyp interface take a
u64 :-)

Cheers,
Ben.
