These errors come up when compiling with gcc-4.3.3 and some older headers:

/scratch/froydnj/qemu.git/block/vpc.c: In function 'vpc_create':
/scratch/froydnj/qemu.git/block/vpc.c:514: error: value computed is not used
/scratch/froydnj/qemu.git/block/vpc.c:516: error: value computed is not used
/scratch/froydnj/qemu.git/block/vpc.c:517: error: value computed is not used
/scratch/froydnj/qemu.git/block/vpc.c:566: error: value computed is not used

Just add void casts to silence the compiler.

Adding code to silence warnings is never the right approach.  In this 
case, strncpy is the wrong function to use.  We should just be using memcpy.
