Subject: [PATCH] add typecheck on irqsave and friends for correct flags


There has been several areas in the kernel where an int has been used
for flags in local_irq_save and friends instead of a long. This can
cause some hard to debug problems on some architectures.

This patch adds a typecheck inside the irqsave and restore functions
to flag these cases.
