it should be harmless. Does the patch below fix the warnings?

Subject: sched: fix gcc warnings
From: Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Meelis Roos reported these warnings on sparc64:
CC kernel/sched.o
In file included from kernel/sched.c:879:
kernel/sched_debug.c: In function 'nsec_high':
kernel/sched_debug.c:38: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks
a cast
the debug check in do_div() is over-eager here, because the long long
is always positive in these places. Mark this by casting them to
unsigned long long.
no change in code output:
