Have you considered using a PFN type address here? I suspect you
can prove that shifting the DMA address by PAGE_BITS would
make it fit into an 'unsigned long' on all 32-bit architectures with
64-bit dma_addr_t. This requires that page->dma_addr to be
page aligned, as well as fit into 44 bits. I recently went through the
maximum address space per architecture to define a
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS, and none of them have more than
40 here, presumably the same is true for dma address space.
I wouldn't like to make that assumption.  I've come across IOMMUs (maybe
on parisc?  powerpc?) that like to encode fun information in the top
few bits.  So we could get it down to 52 bits, but I don't think we can
get all the way down to 32 bits.  Also, we need to keep the bottom bit
clear for PageTail, so that further constrains us.

Anyway, I like the "two unsigned longs" approach I posted yesterday,
but thanks for the suggestion.
