[PATCH] reduce casting in sysenter.c

Ran across this because it's another place where an unsigned long is passed
directly to __pa().  Making the "page" variable a void* seems a bit more
natural than an unsigned long and reduces the net number of casts by 1. 
Without it, we probably need another (void *) cast in the __pa() call.  

For more explanation as to why this was probably done originally, see this
