SubjectRe: [PATCH] i386: additional fix for making ioremap() accept 64-bit addresses

i fixed this in x86.git more than a week ago, see:

| Subject: x86: ioremap of 64-bit resource on 32-bit kernel fix
| From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
| Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 08:31:17 +0100

but since 64-bit resources never worked on 32-bit and the initiator
regression causing this discussion turned out to be something else, i
delayed this fix as .26 material.

the PHYSICAL_MASK fix looks good as an additional check - could you
please resend it against x86.git/latest which has my fix already?

Ingo
