I'm not really interested in building with g++, sorry.
Centainly not if it makes code less robust by forcing
casts where they weren't previously necessary.
However, vring_init and vring_size are legacy APIs anyway,
so I'd be happy to add ifndefs that will allow userspace
simply hide these functions if it does not need them.
