This patch is absolutely not appropriate for your tree Takashi.

It's for the sparc tree because that's where the dma_addr_t
type was changed from 32-bit to 64-bit on sparc64, which is
what caused this build warning.

Dave, please only send sparc specific driver patches to
sparclinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in the future so we can avoid
this kind of problem.  The whole handling of the dma_addr_t
type change on sparc64 has been a real mess, quite honestly.
