I'm suggesting that the cast is a band-aid that covers up a type
mismatch, and there shouldn't be a mismatch in the first place.

The DMA API (Documentation/core-api/dma-api.rst) is the usual way to
get bus addresses, since an MSI is basically a DMA on the PCI bus.

Nobody is very motivated to fix these, I guess ;)  I sort of hate to
just throw in a cast to shut up the warning because it doesn't really
solve the problem.
