[PATCH] KVM: PPC: Make long relocations be ulong

[PATCH] KVM: PPC: Make long relocations be ulong

[Alexander Graf]

On Book3S KVM we directly expose some asm pointers to C code as
variables. These need to be relocated and thus break on relocatable
kernels.

To make sure we can at least build, let's mark them as long instead
of u32 where 64bit relocations don't work.

This fixes the following build error:

WARNING: 2 bad relocations
> c000000000008590 R_PPC64_ADDR32    .text+0x4000000000008460
> c000000000008594 R_PPC64_ADDR32    .text+0x4000000000008598

Please keep in mind that actually using KVM on a relocated kernel
might still break. This only fixes the compile problem.

I'm not sure which tree this should go through. Avi and Ben, please
coordinate this.

The diffstat suggests kvm.git.

Is this broken in Linus' tree, or just kvm.git?

I got the bug report through linuxppc-dev, so I assume it's broken in
Linus' tree. In fact, that code has been around for a while already, so
it should even be in 2.6.24.
