The reason I chose this to be a void pointer is that different
platforms might have different means of passing the boot index value
-- on certain platforms this might be passed through a 32 bit
register, 8 bit register on some other. Since this is a platform
function, the corresponding platform would know how the index value is
being passed and would use the correct sized pointer.
