NULL vs 0 vs 0L bikeshed time

[Mark Murray]

Hi

1) Please restrain the need to bikeshed this one to death. I am
   sympathetic to technical arguments, but compulsive noise over
   such issues is annoying.

2) Please separate style disussion from technical discussion.

I'd like to commit the following patch. It makes sure that for C
and the kernel, NULL is a ((void *)0), and for C++, NULL is either
(0L) or 0, with __LP64__ used to define the difference.

The intent is to catch use of NULL where 0 or (0L) should be used.
It generates extra warnings (I promise to fix these).

Comments?
