This as a whole does not fill me with a great amount of enthusiasm,
because it breaks some of the typechecking that we have here.
The whole point of __phys_to_virt() and __virt_to_phys() is that they work
on integer types, and warn if you dare to use them with pointers. Adding
a cast into them breaks that.
The whole point is that the typecasting is explicitly inside phys_to_virt()
and virt_to_phys() and not their macro counterparts.
Secondly, are you sure that this patch is correct on its own? You're
passing a u64 into assembly only expecting a 32-bit register. Have you
checked it does the right thing with a 64-bit phys_addr_t on both LE
and BE?
