SPAPR_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is logically a difference in memory addresses, and hence of type hwaddr which is 64-bit. Previously it wasn't marked as such which means that it could be treated as 32-bit. That will work in some circumstances but if multiplied by another 32-bit value it could lead to a 32-bit overflow and an incorrect result.
One specific instance of this in spapr_lmb_dt_populate() was spotted by Coverity (CID 1399145).
