From 600715dcdf567c86f8b2c6173fcfb4b873e25a19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:31:45 -0700 Subject: generic: add phys_addr_t for holding physical addresses Add a kernel-wide "phys_addr_t" which is guaranteed to be able to hold any physical address. By default it equals the word size of the architecture, but a 32-bit architecture can set ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT if it needs a 64-bit phys_addr_t.
