IMO, having a typecast would be better. Then mtodo() would be really same as
mtod(), as stated in comment.

There was a big discussion about 10 month back when I did this change in my
tcp_workqueue branch with the typecast in.  The conclusion was that a typecast
is really not necessary and only causes one to type a lot more for the compiler
to throw away anyway.  But yes, the comment isn't perfect in that sense.
