Subject: [PATCH] x86: sparse warnings in pageattr.c

Adjust the definition of lookup_address to take an unsigned long
level argument.  Adjust callers in xen/mmu.c that pass in a
dummy variable.

arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:99:38: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness)
arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:99:38:    expected int *level
arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:99:38:    got unsigned int *<noident>
arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:215:33: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness)
arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:215:33:    expected int *level
arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:215:33:    got unsigned int *<noident>
