[PATCH] Fix x86_64 put_user() sparse warnings

[Roland Dreier]

This may not be 2.6.10 material -- if not please queue for 2.6.11.

Thanks,
  Roland


Fix sparse warnings

    warning: cast removes address space of expression

for uses of put_user() on x86_64 caused by doing __m(addr) in
__put_user_asm() with addr a __user pointer.
