The issue of original warning is: ( I compile the kernel on x86_64 )
warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

What this patch does is:
cast best_val to uintptr_t, which is an unsigned integer large enough to
hold a void* pointer.

And then cast it to (void *).

Thus I did (void *)(uintptr_t)best_val.

Axel
