Better late than never.

Those functions are going to break on 32-bit platforms with extended physical address (well, that's starting with Pentiums which had 36-bit PAE :-) AND devices mapped beyond 4 GB (e.g. PowerPC 44x). You should have used resource_size_t for the 'offset' parameter. As this most probably means that libata is broken on such platforms, I'm going to submit a patch...

Yeah, right please go ahead. But I wonder whether any BIOS was actually crazy enough to map mmio region above 4G on 32bit machine.
