Using i386 for testing does reveal compilation issues; I will retain
this (long) cast and send the third version of the patch.
make ARCH=i386 -j$(nproc)
ld: drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.o: in function `block2mtd_setup2':
block2mtd.c:(.text+0x315): undefined reference to `__moddi3'
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:72:vmlinux.unstripped] 错误 1

It is my pleasure.
