The meye hardware needs to access the main memory for DMA using 32 bit addresses. The previous version of the meye driver used dma_addr_t types to build those addresses and ensured that sizeof(dma_addr_t) = 4 by disabling HIGHMEM64G in Kconfig. However, this way of doing it also makes meye unavailable on some kernel configurations. As Arjan said previously, future Fedora kernels may have HIGHMEM64G activated by default (davej says it won't happen, at least for now...). Other distributions may do the same and this will require meye users to recompile the whole kernel. The attached patch makes the meye driver use dma_addr_t addresses internally, but converts them to u32 before giving them to the hardware.
