 	- Use NTFS_MAX_CLUSTER_SIZE in super.c instead of hard coding 0x10000.
 	- Use MAX_BUF_PER_PAGE instead of variable sized array allocation for
 	  better code generation and one less sparse warning in fs/ntfs/aops.c.
+	- Remove spurious void pointer casts from fs/ntfs/.  (Pekka Enberg)
 
 2.1.22 - Many bug and race fixes and error handling improvements.
