Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] fix mm: use long type for page counts in mm_populate() and get_user_pages()
Andrew suggested I make the nr_pages argument an unsigned long rather
than just a long. I was initially worried that nr_pages would be compared
with signed longs, but this isn't the case, so his suggestion is perfectly
valid.
Sending as a 'fix' change, to be collapsed with the original in -mm.
