_Region_Get and strict aliasing

[Steven Johnson]

_Region_Get does this:

return (Region_Control *)
    _Objects_Get_no_protection( &_Region_Information, id, location );


Unfortunately (Region_Control*) is not returned by 
_Objects_Get_no_protection (it returns a Objects_Control *) and so is an 
illegal alias under C99.

I Don't know how this could be "fixed".

As I come across any other "invalid" C99 aliases I will be sure to 
report them.  I do not know if they cause problems or not, but that is 
hardly the test for if something is an illegal alias or not under C99.  
It seems to us that anything with "Object" in it in the rtems core is 
probably suspect.  But how one is supposed to rationally subclass and 
superclass structures in an extensible way in C99 is beyond me.
