Subject[PATCH 09/10] uml: comment about cast build fix
Date
From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

Explain why the casting we do to silence this warning is indeed safe.

It is because the field we're casting from, though being 64-bit wide, was filled
with a pointer in first place by ourselves.
