This doesn't produce a warning on x86 and powerpc because on both arches 
__va is a macro which does a cast to unsigned long, but on m68k __va is a 
function expecting an unsigned long argument.

This is because bufsz is unsigned long but mchunk is size_t.

Both warnings are fixed by the changes below, which will be in my next 
revision of the kexec buffer hand-over series.
