Why doesn't __get_free_pages return "void *"?

[Timur Tabi <ttabi@interactivesi.com>]

__get_free_pages is a function that returns a virtual pointer to allocated
memory.  Why does the prototype return "unsigned long" instead of "void *"?
kmalloc() returns "void *", and it's almost the same thing as gfp.
