autopkgtest failure on armhf

[Sergio Durigan Junior]

golang-github-uber-go-atomic's autopkgtest is currently failing on armhf with:

src/github.com/uber-go/atomic/uintptr_test.go:72:29: constant 18446744073709551615 overflows uintptr

I spent some time investigating it, and it's coming from this line on uintptr_test.go:

atom := NewUintptr(uintptr(math.MaxUint64))

The problem seems to affect 32-bit architectures, and is well known by the upstream Golang developers:

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/23086
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/23087

I tried a workaround that supposedly should work (casting math.MaxUint64 to uint64), but unfortunately it didn't.

I've reported the bug upstream.
