Applied to `rust-next` -- thanks everyone!

[ Added `.cast()` for `opp`. - Miguel ]

[ Changed `isize` to `c_long`. - Miguel ]

It would still be nice to get the couple remaining Acked-bys (happy to
rebase to apply them), but I feel we are in good shape, and it is a
good time to put it into linux-next so that people see the lint before
they start applying new code into their branches.

Cheers,
Miguel
