From: Thomas Meyer <thomas@m3y3r.de>

 Casting (void *) value returned by kmalloc is useless
 as mentioned in Documentation/CodingStyle, Chap 14.

 The semantic patch that makes this change is available
 in scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/drop_kmalloc_cast.cocci.

 More information about semantic patching is available at
 http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/

Sorry, I can't seem to find that code anywhere. I suppose you're using 
an old git checkout?
