 NetBSD uses an intptr_t to store udata in kqueue structure, contrary to
 FreeBSD/OpenBSD which use a void*. It leads to various compilation
 failures (invalid cast between descriptor_data and intptr_t) from
 kqueue_reactor.ipp

 The attached patch fixes the issue (calling reinterpret_cast<> in the
 NetBSD case). With this patch, I'm able to pass most of the asio test on
 NetBSD (still a few errors in the multicast case, I may investigate on it
 later) (the patch is untested on other BSD, but the conditional macro must
 be ok).
