Subject[PATCH] 2.4.22pre10: {,un}likely_p() macros for pointers
GCC is warning about a pointer-to-int conversion when the likely() and
unlikely() macros are used with pointer values. So, for architectures
where pointers are larger than 'int', I suggest this patch.

PS: This patch was made against 2.4.22pre10 plus many patches from the
'aa' kernel series, so it should be considered an example of the patch
that might be required in other kernel versions.
