According to the code, I saw:
#ifdef ACPI_ASL_COMPILER
#define ACPI_32BIT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS
#endif

and then
#ifdef ACPI_32BIT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS
typedef u32 acpi_physical_address;

As for ACPI_ASL_COMPILER, I saw iASL in documention, but can't find more
information in the code. If I miss something, please let me know.

Thanks,
