This will definitely warn on 64-bit, and you should avoid that even if this
driver can not possibly be built on 64-bit platforms.

You cannot truncate a pointer to an integer which is potentially smaller
in representation size than a pointer could potentially be.

Just can avoid all of these issues by using real pointer arithmetic and
casting to (char *), or even better, (void *).
