mach, hurd: Cast through uintptr_t
When casting between a pointer and an integer of a different size, GCC
emits a warning (which is escalated to a build failure by -Werror).
Indeed, if what you start with is a pointer, which you then cast to a
shorter integer and then back again, you're going to cut off some bits
of the pointer.
But if you start with an integer (such as mach_port_t), then cast it to
a longer pointer (void *), and then back to a shorter integer, you are
fine. To keep GCC happy, cast through an intermediary uintptr_t, which
is always the same size as a pointer.
