Fix for asm/system.h

Hello!
While compiling a C++ program I noticed a little nastiness in asm/system.h
(for Alpha of course). G++ always complained that an implicit cast would not
be allowed with ANSI C++. OK I thought, then make it explicit ;)
Here is a little diff... would someone please include this for the next
kernel release?
Thanks!
