One of the possible solutions to this problem is that expand the size
of "start" and "end" to "unsigned long long". But whole of the PCI and driver code has been written assuming start and end to be unsigned long
and compiler starts throwing warnings.


please use dma_addr_t then instead of unsigned long long

this is the right size on all platforms afaik (could a ppc64 person
verify this?> ;)

Actually we really just want "start" and "end" to be u64 on all platforms. Linus was ok with this change but no one has gone through and fixed everything that would be required for it.
