> The arm64 implementation of this_cpu_write() casts 'val' to unsigned
> long. This is necessary to handle cases where 'val' is a pointer type,
> and to avoid spurious compiler warnings for the (unreachable!) cases
> where the pointer type would be cast to a smaller integer type.
>
> Unfortunately, the cast is applied to 'val' rather than '(val)', which
> won't always generate the expected value when 'val' is an expression.
>
> For example, for this_cpu_write(pcp, zero - 1), where 'pcp' is a u64 and
> 'zero' is a u32:
>
> * 'zero' ===> (u32) 0x00000000
> * 'zero - 1' ===> (u32) 0xffffffff
> * '(unsigned long)zero - 1' ===> (u64) 0xffffffffffffffff
> * '(unsigned long)(zero - 1)' ===> (u64) 0x00000000ffffffff
