Subject: [PATCH] Fix an incompatible pointer type warning on x86_64
	compilations

Fix an incompatible pointer type warning on x86_64 compilations.
early_memtest() is passing a u64* to find_e820_area_size() which is expecting
an unsigned long.  Change t_start and t_size to unsigned long as those are
also 64-bit types on x88_64.
