Subject: [PATCH 2.6.32-rc3] fix pcpu_embed_first_chunk() compile warnings

Compiling 2.6.32-rc3 on i686 I get the following new warnings:

mm/percpu.c: In function 'pcpu_embed_first_chunk':
mm/percpu.c:1873: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
mm/percpu.c:1879: warning: format '%lx' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'size_t'

They are caused by 6ea529a2037ce662fc6bfa572b46d47407d08805
"make embedding first chunk allocator check vmalloc space size".

The first warning is because max() is applied to one operand of
type 'size_t' and another of type 'unsigned long'. Fix: cast the
second one to 'size_t'.

For the second warning: always use '%z' to format 'size_t' operands.
