Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.
For example, this cast:
int y;
int *p = (int *)&y;
I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts. I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user.

type T;
T *p;

"For best CPU usage and power consumption, having as few
frames as possible percolate through the stack is
desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much
as possible."
Note: Not all firmwares include the multicast filter
feature and the stack does not filter them either.
The ARP filter on the other hand was dropped from the
patch since it does not work correctly:
Quote from: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@gmail.com>
<http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg67466.html>
"In the ARP case, when there's no other traffic on p54spi,
all ARP requests are dropped. But if there's some egress
traffic from p54spi, filter seems to work correctly:
only ARP requests that match filter pass through.
In the multicast case filter seems to work correctly, but
it treats broadcast as subject to that filtering too. By
default only 01:00:5e:00:00:01 gets into priv->mc_maclist,
so we miss all broadcasts.
These two filters seem to interfere:
- if we set ARP filter and multicast filter without bc
=> we miss all ARPs if there's no egress traffic;
- if we set ARP filter and multicast filter with bc or
don't set mc filter at all => we get all ARPs.
This effect does not depend on filter setup order."

This patch fixes several shortcomings of the
previous implementation. Features of the
rewrite include:
* handles undocumented "0x0000" word at the
start of the frequency table.
(Affected some early? DELL 1450 USB devices
and my Symbol 5GHz miniPCI card.)
* supports more than just one reference point
per band. (Also needed for the Symbol card.)
* ships with default values in case the eeprom
data is damaged, absent or unsupported.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
