I'm confused.  How did we end up with a 64-bit PFN number on ARM?  It's
insane - especially as the kernel uses "unsigned long" almost everywhere
for PFNs - we can't have physical addresses more than 44 bits (32 bit
pfn + 4k page size).

The ifdef for ARM is ugly but did not find better solutions for it.
#ifdef __arm__

maybe?  Even if not, the unsightly parens are not necessary.
