Okay, then I'll revert this one. The patch may be mechanical to  
_review_ but it's pretty invasive, so I'd rather have some parts of it  
committed before running into larger merge conflicts.

Sounds good. Should we go ahead with my patch first and do the  
uint64_t -> target_phys_addr_t change as a follow-up patch? Or should  
I strip all changes to drivers/ from my patch?
