I'm currently doing this for kicks (Well, actually because it kills a botload of warnings, lint and otherwise). Once make world is working again, I'll put up a patch. My approach is to typedef caddr_t to void*, and then fix the errors this causes. So far, they are all no-brainers; mainly function prototypes that are inconsistent with their definitions. There are a few places where caddr_t is assumed to point to char.
