To support iopoll for bio-based device, the returned cookie is actually a pointer to an implementation specific object, e.g. an object maintaining all split bios. In such case, blk_qc_t should be large enough to contain one pointer, for which uintptr_t is used here. Since uintptr_t is actually an integer type in essence, there's no need of type casting in the original mq path, while type casting is indeed needed in bio-based routine.
