Subject: [PATCH 05/17][trivial] drivers/message/, i2o: Remove unnecessary
 casts of void ptr returning alloc function return values

Hi,

The [vk][cmz]alloc(_node) family of functions return void pointers which
it's completely unnecessary/pointless to cast to other pointer types since
that happens implicitly.

This patch removes such casts from drivers/message/
