Hmm, yes, other than in .27, -tip derives resource_size_t from phys_addr_t,
regardless of CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT (and the config you provided
is a non-PAE one). I have to question that change, which I'm sure is
responsible for this failure. If there's a good reason for this, then
phys_addr_valid() should use phys_addr_t as its parameter type (and
so should ioremap() & Co), and the pre-processor conditional should
then change to depend on CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT. Since ioremap()
would need to change first, I'd have to withdraw the patch until that
gets sorted out.
