cs.base is declared as a __u64 variable and vector is a u32 so this
causes a static checker warning. I'm not very familiar with this code
but my understanding is that the user can set "sipi_vector" to any u32
value in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events().

The user can do so, but it should not set it to any value greater than
255. So the right fix is to cast to (u8).
Thanks for the report!
