Should this cast be to uintptr_t? Or intptr_t, as size has somewhat
strangely been defined as signed? To complete the mix, x86_clflush_size
is 'u16'! So maybe we should write
+ const size_t size = boot_cpu_data.x86_clflush_size;
+ const size_t mask = ~(size - 1);
void *end = addr + length;
+ addr = (void *)(((uintptr_t)addr) & mask);
