Subject: [PATCH 1/2] add phys_addr_t for holding physical addresses
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:38:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48A0954E.20400@goop.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080807170617.79ca3ce7.akpm@linux-foundation.org>

Add a kernel-wide "phys_addr_t" which is guaranteed to be able to hold
any physical address.  By default it equals the word size of the
architecture, but a 32-bit architecture can set ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT
if it needs a 64-bit phys_addr_t.
