Subject: [PATCH v9 06/29] x86/mpx: Use signed variables to compute effective addresses

Even though memory addresses are unsigned, the operands used to compute the
effective address do have a sign. This is true for ModRM.rm, SIB.base,
SIB.index as well as the displacement bytes. Thus, signed variables shall
be used when computing the effective address from these operands. Once the
signed effective address has been computed, it is casted to an unsigned
long to determine the linear address.

Variables are renamed to better reflect the type of address being
computed.
