Thanks, applied in r922, with one additional (uintptr_t) ->  
cell2pointer() fix in mac-parts.c that I forgot to mention.

Attached is what I have not applied from the original patch. I'm  
thinking we should better avoid the native-bitwidth-equals-host- 
bitwidth path on ppc64 than fixing the symptoms of using it. For the  
rest, target_phys_addr_t would seem a nice solution. Additionally, the  
double-dereference of "myself" and the trampoline issue still need  
proper fixes.
