[PATCH] mach-defpager: Declare `__malloc_initialize_hook' as volatile

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello,

Mach-defpager uses libc’s malloc hooks and fails to build with libc 2.14
where they are declared as volatile [0]:

kalloc.c:43:8: error: conflicting type qualifiers for '__malloc_initialize_hook'

 note: previous declaration of '__malloc_initialize_hook' was here
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

OK to apply?

(This is a temporary measure anyway since those variables are
deprecated.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
