Regression from Changeset 79895: new calls to madvise() need to cast as necessary to caddr_t

Description
On the AIX tester we see:
"../boost/interprocess/mapped_region.hpp", line 762.52: 1540-0256 (S) A parameter of type "char *" cannot be initialized with an expression of type "void *". "../boost/interprocess/mapped_region.hpp", line 762.52: 1540-1205 (I) The error occurred while converting to parameter 1 of "madvise(caddr_t, size_t, int)".
The call in question to madvise() is indeed invalid.
The signature for madvise() on the AIX platform uses caddr_t (a typedef to char *) as the type of the first parameter.
A search seems to indicate that Solaris and HP-UX also use caddr_t.

Thanks, for the report. Changeset 79964 should fix the problem. I can only test it in a x86 Solaris 11 Virtual Machine. It seems that Tru64 also uses caddr_t. Please let me know if this fixes the issue.
