Another question is whether we have any arch where PFN != PHYS >> PAGE_SHIFT?
We've used __phys_to_pfn() to implement that on ARM (with a corresponding
__pfn_to_phys()). Catalin recently added a cast to __phys_to_pfn() for
LPAE, which I don't think is required:
-#define __phys_to_pfn(paddr) ((paddr) >> PAGE_SHIFT)
+#define __phys_to_pfn(paddr) ((unsigned long)((paddr) >> PAGE_SHIFT))
since a phys_addr_t >> PAGE_SHIFT will be silently truncated if the passed
in physical address was 64-bit anyway. (Note: we don't support > 32-bit
PFNs).
So, I'd suggest CMA should just use PFN_DOWN() and be done with it.
