I dont' event want to start talking about the wimax-ns...  besides the
fact that it uses 32-bit only registers for some of backtrace stuff in
GenericConsole.c [1], there are tons of warnings about the autogenerated
stuff for pointer size comparisons too [2].  Given how that piece is
developed, is it even worth me submitting 64-bit correctness patches for
it?

Note that stuff like Bitman2Base would also need to be fixed up for
64-bit Linux since we're not supposed to edit files like
BasicBitmanTypes.h.  Somehow I doubt that will happen but I'd be
pleasantly surprised if it did.  For example:

#define BM_Little_Flag_value_GET_POS( base_ptr, base_bitoff, out_ptr, out_bitoff )\
{\
	/*lint --e{*} */\
	out_ptr = base_ptr;\
	out_bitoff = base_bitoff;\
}

here base_ptr is a void* while base_bitoff is a UINT32.  On 64-bit that
will generate a compiler warning that is probably harmless but is *very*
annoying in the logs (since it happens a few times for every line in
SourceControl/BitmanCommon.c).

Dan

[1] trace[1] = (void *) uc->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_EIP];  REG_EIP is a
32-bit only register and should be REG_RIP on x86-64, but certainly this
isn't portable to any other platform either and it should be...

[2] ../../../../InfraStack/OSDependent/Linux/L4Generated/L4BufMan_L3L4DmStructs.c:403: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

which corresponds to

BM_MonitorBuffer_List_CURRENT_L3L4_BurstStatus_L3_BurstStatus_L3_totalDlSdusSize_GET( base_ptr, cur_ptr, cur_bitoff, pMsg->L3L4_BurstStatus_L3.BurstStatus_L3.totalDlSdusSize );
