[RFC PATCH v8 05/35] KVM: x86: Change lapic regs base address to void pointer

[Neeraj Upadhyay <Neeraj.Upadhyay@amd.com>]

Change APIC base address from "char *" to "void *" in KVM
lapic's set/get helper functions. Pointer arithmetic for "void *"
and "char *" operate identically. With "void *" there is less
of a chance of doing the wrong thing, e.g. neglecting to cast and
reading a byte instead of the desired APIC register size.

No functional change intended.
