Hello Jiang Liu,

I'm getting a few new build warnings from this patch in linux-next, can you please
have a look what's going on here?

Using neponset_defconfig:

arch/arm/mm/init.c: In function 'mem_init':
arch/arm/mm/init.c:603:2: warning: passing argument 1 of 'free_reserved_area' makes integer from pointer without a cast [enabled by default]

Using one of {realview,s3c6400,u300}_defconfig:
