this code is the same in 3.0.0-rc2+ but produces no warning.

this is not what the code you are changing does.

the code is not assigned that value, its or'd with it.

a test would be more like.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
        unsigned long page;  //page
        unsigned int b = 5;  //info->eap is u32 = unsigned int
                                       // typedef unsigned int __u32;
        page = (unsigned long) b;
        page |= 0x10000000ul;

        printf("%lu\n",page);

        return 0;
}

This produces no warning.
$ gcc -g test.c && ./a.out
268435461
$

0x10000000
10000000000000000000000000000
5
00000000000000000000000000101
0x10000000 | 5 =
10000000000000000000000000101
268435461

I am green to kernel development so I will wait for someone with a bit
more knowledge to
chime in, or verify this warning.
