That pretty much means phys_addr_t. It will work for me as well but
in last thread from consistency with memory and reserved node, Rob
insisted to keep it as u64. So before I re-spin another version,
would like to here what Rob has to say considering the x86 requirement.

Rob,
Are you ok with phys_addr_t since your concern was about rest
of the memory specific bits of the device-tree code use u64 ?

Santosh
