The cause of these warnings is that mce_checkregs is prototyped as

	void mce_checkregs (unsigned int)

and smp_call_function wants

	void mce_checkregs (void *)

and also the second parameter to smp_call_function is a void* not an
int.  This patch converts mce_checkregs to the desired format and also
properly passes a pointer.  Not matching the prototypes is probably fine
(at least on i386) but the warning should be avoided.  I bet the
resulting machine code is similar if not the same, anyhow.

Patch is actually against my bluesmoke.c, but that should match what you
have in 2.5.7-dj4 pretty much.  Please, apply.
