Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] avr32: added mem kernel command line option support

If you see the above function early_parse_fbmem:

static int __init early_parse_fbmem(char *p)
{
int ret;
unsigned long align;

fbmem_size = memparse(p, &p);
.........

where fbmem_size is a resource_size_t (u32 because avr32 is a 32-bit
architecture), so I used the same philosophy. Maybe I can remove
unsigned long and replace it with resource_size_t to be more uniform.
