We need to store phys addresses > 32-bit somewhere. Changing
smem_start and mmio_start of the struct fb_fix_screeninfo to
unsigned long long would break user space compatibility.
How about adding smem_start_high and mmio_start_high to the
struct fb_fix_screeninfo for the purpose of storing upper
address bits?
