The struct pci_dev */u64 casting is in init_k8_gatt. If Ingo is happy, then
forget my comment. I don't have this kind of system to test the patch on, it
was just that as I was looking it over, all the casts kind of made my head
swim.

The narrowing cast is here:
+static inline void enable_gart_translation(struct pci_dev *dev, u64 addr)
+{
+ u32 tmp, ctl;
+
+ /* address of the mappings table */
+ addr >>= 12;
+ tmp = (u32) addr<<4;

Also, putting on my Andrew Morton cap, which I should have done before,
that function is too big to be inlined so you should probably drop the explicit
`inline' and let the compiler decide.

Add a

if that's appropriate. I'm satisified that you did a one-for-one code move.
