There's a number of such occurences that look suspicious:

 triton:~/tip> git grep 'cpa->pfn.*<<.*PAGE_SHIFT' arch/x86/
 arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:         set_pmd(pmd, __pmd(cpa->pfn << PAGE_SHIFT | _PAGE_PSE |
 arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:         set_pud(pud, __pud(cpa->pfn << PAGE_SHIFT | _PAGE_PSE |
 arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c: unsigned long laddr = (unsigned long)__va(cpa->pfn << PAGE_SHIFT);
 arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:         unsigned long temp_cpa_vaddr = (cpa->pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) +

are you sure none of the code runs on 32-bit?

All this got introduced with:

| commit edc3b9129cecd0f0857112136f5b8b1bc1d45918
| Author: Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk>
| Date:   Fri Nov 27 21:09:31 2015 +0000
|
|    x86/mm/pat: Ensure cpa->pfn only contains page frame numbers

AFAICS.

Even if none of this is run on 32-bit, we should really fix it to be u64, because 
the code is really bogus and the fix is easy ...

Thanks,

	Ingo
