Abusing pointer is much worse than using long as a pointer holder. Moreover the latter is valid case (okay, not as kernel_ulong_t, but unsigned long) in many places in the kernel, starting from the memory manager, so your argument doesn't look like a good one to me. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
