 ia64_mca_cpu_init has a void *data local variable that is assigned
 the value from either __get_free_pages() or mca_bootmem(). The problem
 is that __get_free_pages returns an unsigned long and mca_bootmem, via
 alloc_bootmem(), returns a void *. format_mca_init_stack takes the void *,
 and it's also used with __pa(), but that casts it to long anyway.

 This results in the following build warning:

 arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c:1898: warning: assignment makes pointer from
 integer without a cast

 This patch casts the return of __get_free_pages to a void * to avoid
 the warning.
