The GGTT is currently a 32 bit address space, but the HW and GuC
support 48b addresses in GGTT-related operations, both to keep the
interface/HW paths common between PPGTT and GGTT and to allow for
future increase of the GGTT size.
This leaves us having to program a 64b field with a 32b offset, which
currently we're in some cases doing this by using an upper_32_bits()
call on a 32b variable, which doesn't make any sense. To do this cleanly
we have 2 options:
1 - Set the upper 32 bits directly to zero.
2 - Use 64b variables for the offset and keep programming the whole thing,
so we're ready if we ever have bigger offsets.
This patch goes with option #2 and switches the related variables to u64.
v2: don't change the log ctl flag variable (John)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
