As soon as it was pulled out of the struct. So here:

		ret = tce_iommu_create_window(container, create.page_shift,
				create.window_size, create.levels,
				&create.start_addr);

ie, instead of:

	static long tce_iommu_create_window(struct tce_container *container,
			__u32 page_shift, __u64 window_size, __u32 levels,
			__u64 *start_addr)

this:

	static long tce_iommu_create_window(struct tce_container *container,
			u32 page_shift, u64 window_size, u32 levels,
			u64 *start_addr)
