Ah-ha, thanks for the report! I didn't see this in my builds -- what
config target did you use for this?

Looks like GCC isn't happy about an unsigned long->void * conversion
here...

include/asm/page.h:#define PAGE_OFFSET 0xfffffc0000000000UL
...
include/uapi/asm/setup.h:#define KERNEL_START_PHYS 0x1000000 /* required: Wildfire/Titan/Marvel */
include/uapi/asm/setup.h:#define EMPTY_PGT (PAGE_OFFSET+KERNEL_START_PHYS+0x04000)
...
mm/init.c: memset((void *) EMPTY_PGT, 0, PAGE_SIZE);

I'll try to figure out the right annotations to fix this...
