Hi,
I tried this.

In this particular case, phys_addr is a type(def) of resource_size_t,
so we still get gcc warnings:

next-20080410/arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c: In function '__ioremap':
next-20080410/arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:137: warning: format '%lx' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'resource_size_t'
next-20080410/arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:188: warning: format '%lx' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'resource_size_t'

so we still need to cast phys_addr either to (unsigned long) or
(unsigned long long). Rigth? or am I missing something? if so, what?

Thanks,
