Subject: [PATCH] [34/50] i386: Fix argument signedness warnings


From: Satyam Sharma <satyam@...radead.org>


These build warnings:

In file included from include/asm/thread_info.h:16,
from include/linux/thread_info.h:21,
from include/linux/preempt.h:9,
from include/linux/spinlock.h:49,
from include/linux/vmalloc.h:4,
from arch/i386/boot/compressed/misc.c:14:
include/asm/processor.h: In function .$B!F.(Jcpuid_count.$B!G.(J:
include/asm/processor.h:615: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of .$B!F.(Jnative_cpuid.$B!G.(J differ in signedness
include/asm/processor.h:615: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of .$B!F.(Jnative_cpuid.$B!G.(J differ in signedness
include/asm/processor.h:615: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of .$B!F.(Jnative_cpuid.$B!G.(J differ in signedness
include/asm/processor.h:615: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 4 of .$B!F.(Jnative_cpuid.$B!G.(J differ in signedness

come because the arguments have been specified as pointers to (signed) int
types, not unsigned. So let's specify those as unsigned. Do some codingstyle
here and there while at it.
