Looking around with "git grep", there's a few more of these. - btrfs seems to like "(unsigned long)-1" There's a few other users of that too, including more sparc uses. - scsi/qla seems to like "(unsigned long)<hexnumber>" - fmdrv_common.h seems to like "((unsigned long)1<<x)" for bitmaps along with a smattering of random noise all over of "(unsigned long) n" where 'n' is some integer. Apparently people aren't as aware of the normal "ul" postfix syntax as I would have expected. That said, it's a hundred-odd cases in all of the kernel, so it's still fairly rare.
