Hi all, In many kernel data structures (struct pglist_data and struct zone_struct at least) pointers to physical memory are represented as long values. On the x86 platform, why can't 32-bit memory addresses be represented with only an int instead? Or is this just to have to change less code for 64-bit architectures?
