Hi Jim.

I did that with each patch, but here it is again:

$ cat norecast.cocci
@@
type T;
T *p;
@@

-       (T *)p
+       p
$

Also from each patch:

I manually removed the conversions this script produces of
casts with __force, __iomem and __user.

Also, I did delete a few unnecessary parentheses left over
after the casts were removed.
