[uml-devel] [PATCH 1/16] UML - Fix build warnings in __get_user

[Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>]

Fix a gcc warning about losing qualifiers to the first argument of
copy_from_user.  The typeof change for correctness, and fixes a lot
of the warnings, but there are some cases where x has some extra
qualifiers, like volatile, which copy_from_user can't know about.
For these, the void * cast seems to be necessary.

Also cleaned up some of the whitespace and got rid of the emacs comment
at the bottom.
