This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    ARM: 7864/1: Handle 64-bit memory in case of 32-bit phys_addr_t

to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please 
reply to this email.

Subject: ARM: 7864/1: Handle 64-bit memory in case of 32-bit phys_addr_t

commit 6d7d5da7d75c6df676c8b72d32b02ff024438f0c upstream.

Use CONFIG_ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT to determine
if ignoring or truncating of memory banks is
neccessary. This may be needed in the case of
64-bit memory bank addresses but when phys_addr_t
is kept 32-bit.
