This patch modifies the switch_mm() processor functions to use 64-bit addresses. We use u64 instead of phys_addr_t, in order to avoid having config dependent register usage when calling into switch_mm assembly code. The changes in this patch are primarily adjustments for registers used for arguments to switch_mm. The few processor definitions that did use the second argument have been modified accordingly. Arguments and calling conventions aside, this patch should be a no-op on v6 and non-LPAE v7 processors.NAK. You just broke all big endian targets, LPAE or not.
Indeed. Thanks. Would C-land word swappery on BE do? Any other ideas on the best approach to this?
