The improved type-checking version of container_of() triggers a warning for xchg_xen_ulong, pointing out that 'xen_ulong_t' is unsigned, but atomic64_t contains a signed value: drivers/xen/events/events_2l.c: In function 'evtchn_2l_handle_events': arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:87:21: error: 'pending_words' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
I don't think this is the warning message you wanted to paste here? Other than that, the patch is fine.
