Understood. Thanks. The casts were needed to upgrade to 64-bit before
arithmetic. We should convert the non-patch __phys_to_virt and
__virt_to_phys to inlines to keep the typechecking intact.

We should explicitly pass in the lower order bits here, at least until
the next patch in the series fixes things up for 64-bit. Thanks.

We've tested with 64-bit and 32-bit phys_addr_t, but only on LE. Thanks
for pointing this out, we'll figure out a way to run BE as well.
