Compiling dbau1x00 and gth2 boards with GCC-4.2, you would see new warnings
like this:
skuribay@ubuntu:u-boot.git$ ./MAKEALL dbau1000
Configuring for dbau1x00 board...

We're passing a volatile pointer to a function which is expecting a non-
volatile pointer. That's potentially dangerous, so gcc warns about it.
Confirmed with ELDK 4.2 (GCC 4.2.2) and Sourcey G++ 4.2 (GCC 4.2.3).
To fix this, we add a volatile attribute to the argument in question.
The virt_to_phys function in Linux kernel also does the same thing.
