The kernelci.org bot has been reporting complete boot failures[1] on
ARM platforms with more than 4GB of memory and LPAE enabled. I've
bisected[2] the failures down to this commit, and reverting it on top
of the latest mainline resolves the boot issue. I took a closer look
at this patch and noticed the cast to phys_addr_t was dropped in the
generic function. Adding this to the new generic function solves the
boot issue I'm reporting.

-#define __pfn_to_phys(pfn) ((pfn) << PAGE_SHIFT)
+#define __pfn_to_phys(pfn) ((phys_addr_t)(pfn) << PAGE_SHIFT)

#define page_to_pfn __page_to_pfn
#define pfn_to_page __pfn_to_page

If this fix is valid, I can send a formal patch or it can be squashed
into the original commit.

Cheers,

Tyler
