The constant 0x200000 does not fit in a 16-bit integer. Therefore the
compiler gives it the type long, as the C standard requires. The
arithmetic promotion rules then cause the compiler to cast i and
grub_scratch_mem to long, and to do the operation in long. The warning
then occurs when casting from long to a pointer type.
