I don't really know what to do here.
The problem is only theoretical (in the long, long past, we have
supported migrating between different architectures, but we aren't
testing anymore).
And because it was a pain in the ass, we define it as:
/* address in the RAM (different from a physical address) */
#if defined(CONFIG_XEN_BACKEND)
typedef uint64_t ram_addr_t;
# define RAM_ADDR_MAX UINT64_MAX
# define RAM_ADDR_FMT "%" PRIx64
#else
typedef uintptr_t ram_addr_t;
# define RAM_ADDR_MAX UINTPTR_MAX
# define RAM_ADDR_FMT "%" PRIxPTR
#endif
So I am pretty sure that almost nothing uses 32bits for it now (I
haven't checked lately, but I guess that nobody is really using/testing
xen on 32 bits).
I don't really know. But it could only happens when you are migrating
from Xen 64 bits to Xen 32 bits, I don't really know if that even work.
I will give it a try to change normal/zero to u64.
Thanks, Juan.
