That's

LOWMEM_PAGES = (((1<<32) - __PAGE_OFFSET) >> PAGE_SHIFT)

and a 32-bit build. So gas hasn't been complaning so far about this.

Micha, did something change wrt constants type and width in gas in gcc5?

Judging by the warning, it seems gas considers the "1" a 4-byte type now
and complains about the shift overflow. But it didn't before and the asm
from gcc4.9 looks correct here.

What's up?
