   Casting (void *) value returned by kmalloc is useless
   as mentioned in Documentation/CodingStyle, Chap 14.

   The semantic patch that makes this change is available
   in scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/drop_kmalloc_cast.cocci.

   More information about semantic patching is available at

Sorry, I can't seem to find that code anywhere. I suppose you're using
an old git checkout?
No, I'm at 3.2-rc1:

https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=blob;f=arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_tlb.c#l1029

Ah, yes, that's old. I'm behind Avi's tree, so changes take a while to trickle through to Linus. Please check out the following (current development) tree:
