[PATCH] drivers: cma: fix addressing on PAE machines

From: Vitaly Andrianov
Date: Fri Nov 30 2012 - 07:58:27 EST


This patch fixes a couple of bugs that otherwise impair CMA functionality on
PAE machines:

- alignment must be a 64-bit type when running on systems with 64-bit
physical addresses. If this is not the case, the limit calculation thunks
allocations down to an address range < 4G.

- The allocated range check is removed. On 32bit ARM kernel with LPAE
enabled the base may be allocated outside the fist 4GB of physical
memory (keystone SoC for example).
