The double cast is required for this to be compiled on 32 bits (just like
in mem_avoid_overlap). The setup_data is all u64 and to cast it to a
pointer on 32 bit it has to go via unsigned long.

If we keep actual #ifdef we can drop the double cast because KHO depends on
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE which is only enabled for 64 bits.

The KHO structures in kexec image are under #ifdef, so it won't compile
with IS_ENABLED().

And with other #ifdefs as well :)

if (IS_ENABLED()) can be dropped here, but having it makes things more
explicit IMHO.

This one follows IMA, but it's easy to make it IS_ENABLED(). It's really up
to x86 folks preference.
