A missing type cast results in writing way beyond the end of a kzalloc()'d
memory segment resulting in slab corruption. But it seems like the better
solution is to define ->recv_msg_slots as a 'void *' rather than a
'struct xpc_notify_mq_msg_uv *' and add the type cast.

Impact: fix crash
xpc needs to pass the physical address, not virtual.
Testing uncovered this problem. The virtual address happens to work
most of the time due to the way bios was masking off the node bits.
Passing the physical address makes it work all of the time.

Comments in /drivers/misc/sgi-xp has been using '>>>' as a means to draw
attention to something that needs to be done or considered. To avoid
colliding with git rejects, '>>>' will now be replaced by '!!!' to
indicate something to do, and by '???' to indicate something to be
considered.
