Subject: KVM: remove long -> void *user -> long cast
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~968^2~69

KVM: remove long -> void *user -> long cast

kvm_dev_ioctl casts the arg value to void __user *, just to recast it
again to long. This seems unnecessary.

According to objdump the binary code on x86 is unchanged by this patch.
