I get the following warning when CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is enabled on arm
platforms(dra7xx_evm_defconfig):

arch/arm/lib/cache-cp15.c: In function 'mmu_set_region_dcache_behaviour':
arch/arm/lib/cache-cp15.c:80:12: warning: cast from pointer to integer
of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
  startpt = (phys_addr_t)&page_table[start];
            ^

  stoppt = (phys_addr_t)&page_table[end];
