On some PAE architectures, the entire range of physical memory could reside
outside the 32-bit limit.  These systems need the ability to specify the
initrd location using 64-bit numbers.

This patch globally modifies the early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch() function to
use 64-bit numbers instead of the current unsigned long.

-void __init early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch(unsigned long start, unsigned long 
end)
+void __init early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch(u64 start, u64 end)

Why not phys_addr_t?


The rest of the memory specific bits of the device-tree code use u64 for addresses, and I kept it the same for consistency.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
