  CC      arch/x86/mm/ioremap.o
  arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c: In function ‘xlate_dev_mem_ptr’:
  arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:363:10: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
     addr = (void *)((unsigned long)addr | (phys & ~PAGE_MASK));
               ^
  LD      arch/x86/mm/built-in.o

(Patch should apply to today's 4.1-rc0, too).
