What type of "Host Bus Adapter" needs to be a char driver?  What
userspace programs are talking to this device?  Why do you need to be a
kernel driver at all and not just a UIO userspace driver?

Anyway, there's nothing "special" you need to do for x32 that you
shouldn't have already done properly for your char interface to handle a
mixture of 32/64bit kernel and userspace issues.  So again, nothing
should change, other than making sure you properly handle mixed
user/kernel bit sizes properly.

Do you have a pointer to your source code anywhere?
