[PATCH v3] xen: address violations of MISRA C:2012 Rule 11.8.

[Simone Ballarin <simone.ballarin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Maria Celeste Cesario <maria.celeste.cesario@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Remove or amend casts to comply with Rule 11.8.

Fix violations by adding missing const qualifier in cast.
Fix violations by removing unnecessary cast.
Change type of operands from char* to uintptr_t: uintptr_t is
the appropriate type for memory address operations.

No functional changes.

Changes in v3:
- drop const qualifier in both operands of the variable diff.
- fix parentheses error.
Changes in v2:
- arm/regs.h: add const qualifier to the first operand,
    change types of both operands from char* to uintptr_t.
- x86/regs.h: add const qualifier to both operands. Change
    types of both operands from char* to uintptr_t to
    conform with the arm version.
- dom0less-build.c: rebase change in the new file.
