Hi all,
this small patch fixes gntdev on Linux pvops kernels:
gnttab_set_map_op and gnttab_set_unmap_op shouldn't take unsigned long
as parameters for machine addresses because they are not big enough on
PAE systems.
This patch fixes the issue using phys_addr_t instead and enables
XEN_GNTDEV compilation again.

BTW gntdev is used by qemu to provide the console backend to pv guests.

Is that recent?  Console had been working before hadn't it?

The gntdev problems I saw were more locking related than anything to do
with PAE.  Did you try testing with lock debugging enabled?

Yes, I don't have any problem with locking in gntdev on my testbox.

OK, I'll give it another go.
