Might be prudent to do the same in __file_size32(), instead of 
truncating silently, especially is that function too has a u64 output 
AFAICS.

Also, while reviewing the file I noticed that there's "u32 fb_base", 
which is recovered like:

                status = __gop_query64(gop64, &info, &size, &fb_base);

but ->frame_buffer_base is u64. Is it always guaranteed u32?

Thanks,

	Ingo
