My manual build script haz complaints:

i386-defconfig ../kernel/kprobes.c: In function â__get_insn_slotâ:
../kernel/kprobes.c:190:51: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
perf_event_ksymbol(PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL_TYPE_OOL, (u64)kip->insns,
^
../kernel/kprobes.c: In function âcollect_one_slotâ:
../kernel/kprobes.c:215:9: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
(u64)kip->insns, PAGE_SIZE, true,
^
FAIL


Now, there's a ton of such warnings elsewhere in the tree, but still I
feel we should perhaps strive for a clean build.
