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.


Understood. Thanks. The casts were needed to upgrade to 64-bit before arithmetic. We should convert the non-patch __phys_to_virt and __virt_to_phys to inlines to keep the typechecking intact.

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?


We should explicitly pass in the lower order bits here, at least until the next patch in the series fixes things up for 64-bit. Thanks.

We've tested with 64-bit and 32-bit phys_addr_t, but only on LE. Thanks for pointing this out, we'll figure out a way to run BE as well.
