USB: xhci: Represent 64-bit addresses with one u64.
There are several xHCI data structures that use two 32-bit fields to represent a 64-bit address. Since some architectures don't support 64-bit PCI writes, the fields need to be written in two 32-bit writes. The xHCI specification says that if a platform is incapable of generating 64-bit writes, software must write the low 32-bits first, then the high 32-bits. Hardware that supports 64-bit addressing will wait for the high 32-bit write before reading the revised value, and hardware that only supports 32-bit writes will ignore the high 32-bit write. Previous xHCI code represented 64-bit addresses with two u32 values. This lead to buggy code that would write the 32-bits in the wrong order, or forget to write the upper 32-bits. Change the two u32s to one u64 and create a function call to write all 64-bit addresses in the proper order. This new function could be modified in the future if all platforms support 64-bit writes.
