Solucione este problema con los invitados SEV-SNP, as\u00ed como cualquier caso similar que pueda causar problemas en el c\u00f3digo actual/futuro, utilizando una funci\u00f3n en l\u00ednea, en lugar de una macro, de modo que la entrada se convierta impl\u00edcitamente a la entrada esperada de 64 bits. tipo antes de realizar la operaci\u00f3n de cambio. Si bien se podr\u00eda argumentar que el problema est\u00e1 en el lado de la persona que llama, otros arcos/macros han adoptado enfoques similares para lidiar con casos como este, como ARM que env\u00eda expl\u00edcitamente la entrada a phys_addr_t: e48866647b48 (\"ARM: 8396/1: use phys_addr_t in pfn_to_kaddr()\") La funci\u00f3n en l\u00ednea AC es a\u00fan mejor.
