efi_loader: Fix crash on 32-bit systems A type mismatch in the efi_allocate_pool boot service flow causes hazardous memory scribbling on 32-bit systems. This is efi_allocate_pool's prototype: static efi_status_t EFIAPI efi_allocate_pool(int pool_type, unsigned long size, void **buffer); Internally, it invokes efi_allocate_pages as follows: efi_allocate_pages(0, pool_type, (size + 0xfff) >> 12, (void*)buffer); This is efi_allocate_pages' prototype: efi_status_t efi_allocate_pages(int type, int memory_type, unsigned long pages, uint64_t *memory); The problem: efi_allocate_pages does this internally: *memory = addr; This fix in efi_allocate_pool uses a transitional uintptr_t cast to ensure the correct outcome, irrespective of the system's native word size. This was observed when bootefi'ing the EFI instance of FreeBSD's first stage bootstrap (boot1.efi) on a 32-bit ARM platform (Qemu VExpress + Cortex-a9).
