[PATCH] x86/boot/arch/variable: I don't think (void *) Pointers need to be cast

[Li kunyu]

I first observe (void *) type coercion and non coercion through assembly
language. It seems that there is no difference.
Then I output the assigned information through the print function and
found that the pointer that is not coerced is directly assigned when
executing the print function (opcode a1), while the coerced pointer
needs to execute the assembly instruction xlat (opcode d7), which seems
to be more efficient without coerced conversion.
At present, I just started to try to analyze this part of knowledge
(machine code), please forgive me if the analysis is wrong.
