I was about to go through the whole kernel base for anti-casting. Sounds like a big task, and probably is. I just did not want to do it all at once and send a mega-patch. Instead, a per-directory walk seems best to me, and granted, "dispatcher events executer hardware namespace" and all the other directories under drivers/acpi/ were supposed to be the next to be examined for casts. Though if you have problems with that because compiling with ugh, old or broken, compilers, be my guest. http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t313918-void-casting.html """If your compiler requires a cast, you are using a C++ compiler."""
