Subject: Flags in linux-2.6.33.6-rc4

Hello!

I have found, that some arch-independed functions use unsigned int
(32-bits) flags instead of using unsigned long (64-bits) flags. But
struct vm_area_struct includes the field vm_flags, that is unsinged
long (64-bits). So, some archs, that use 64-bits flags, can miss some
flags. The example of such functions: do_mlock, do_mlockall,
mlock_fixup.

Best regards,
Pavel
