Why is the cast needed? I see that it leads to a warning but we pass a
const buffer and that breaks the API contract as in kunmap it would be
accessed as non-const and potentially changed without warning or
compiler error. If kunmap_local does not touch the buffer and 'const
void*' would work too, then it should be fixed.
