From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>
Minor fix, ensure we don't do void * pointer arithmeti as the behaviour
is undefined (even though most compilers assume it is a char * sized).
Cast to char * before doing the addition.
Fixes cppcheck portability warning:
[src/acpi/dmar/dmar.c:281]: (portability) '(void*)header' is of type 'void *'.
When using void pointers in calculations, the behaviour is undefined.
