Is that the only place we have to do this ?

(In 5.6-rc) I see the same in:
/arch/powerpc/mm/ptdump/hashpagetable.c
/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_radix.c

Wouldn't it be better to:
- Either cast addr to unsigned long in pud_index() macro
- Or change pud_index() macro to a static inline function as x86 ?
