Meanwhile I've queued up the following patch. Jan, please shout if you're unhappy with me doing so, --- >From bc754790f932f3466ec521ee792da2791e7003ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2013 12:35:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] x86, efi: fix 32-bit warnings in setup_efi_pci() Fix four similar build warnings on 32-bit (casts between different size pointers and integers).
