The Beceem WIMAX was generating compile warnings on 64bit machines,
which were:
drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c: In function ‘StoreCmControlResponseMessage’:
drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c:1503:3: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
(struct bcm_connect_mgr_params *) ntohl(

drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c:1546:3: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
(struct bcm_connect_mgr_params *) ntohl(
^
drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c:1564:3: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
(struct bcm_connect_mgr_params *) ntohl(
This resolves the issue by preventing the driver to compile if CONFIG_64BIT
is enabled, since the driver is known to be broken for 64 bit arch's.

v2: change fix from using typecast u64 in the code to altering Kconfig to
prevent the driver from compiling on 64 bit arch's based on feedback

This is an experimental driver for the Beceem WIMAX chipset used
by Sprint 4G.
