Let's just start with the fact that this is a pointer to a structure
containing an enum that represents a single bit. You could just pass
around an address to a bool:
bool crypto_capable = *(bool *)data;
or even just pass and use the 'void *data' pointer as a value directly:
bool crypto_capable = (bool)data;
That, for one, would get rid of some of the naming craziness.
If it were me, and I *really* wanted to keep the full types, I would
have just condensed that line down to:
struct e820_crypto_updater_data *crypto_data = data;
Yeah, it _can_ be const, but it buys you practically nothing in this
case and only hurts readability.
