A recent commit broke the ia64 build:

Author: Don Brace <br...@beardog.cce.hp.com>
Date: Thu Nov 12 12:50:01 2009 -0600

cciss: Add enhanced scatter-gather support.

because of this hunk:

--- a/drivers/block/cciss.h
+++ b/drivers/block/cciss.h
+struct Cmd_sg_list {
+ SGDescriptor_struct *sgchain;
+ dma64_addr_t sg_chain_dma;
+ int chain_block_size;
+};

The issue is that dma64_addr_t isn't #define'd on ia64.

The way that we're using Cmd_sg_list.sg_chain_dma is to hold an
address returned from pci_map_single().

+ temp64.val = pci_map_single(h->pdev,
+ h->cmd_sg_list[c->cmdindex]->sgchain,
+ len, dir);
+
+ h->cmd_sg_list[c->cmdindex]->sg_chain_dma = temp64.val;

pci_map_single() returns a dma_addr_t too.

This code will still work even on a 32-bit x86 build, where
dma_addr_t is defined to be a u32 because it will simply be
promoted to the __u64 that temp64.val is defined as.

Thus, declaring Cmd_sg_list.sg_chain_dma as dma_addr_t is safe.

This changelog is probably an analysis overkill, but I was
concerned about 32 vs 64 bit DMA addresses getting passed to the
hardware. After doing a bunch more reading, I'm satisfied that a)
we're dealing with CPU-side addresses and b) proper type
promotion occurs anyway.

If anyone wants to double-check my work, I won't be offended. ;)

I build tested this on ia64, x86_64, and i386. No gcc nor sparse
warnings. However, I didn't do any run-time testing on i386.
