This patch actually adds a warning on my machine, and your analysis
of the types is therefore probably incorrect:

drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c: In function ‘xenvif_tx_build_gops’:
drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c:1259:8: warning: format ‘%u’ expects argument of type ‘unsigned int’, but argument 5 has type ‘long unsigned int’ [-Wformat=]

The issue is probably "~PAGE_MASK" and I think the type of that
propagates into the type of the overall calculation.
