And it fixes the rcu abuse which resulted in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/25/319.  Which I assume is what inspired the
effort.


your typecasting style is inconsistent:

space

no space

no space

no space

no space

space

etc.


"no space" seems to be more usual, by about a 50.1:49.9 ratio.  It is
a lot more common in net/:

box:/usr/src/25> grep '[(]unsigned long[)] ' net/*/*.c  | wc -l
91
box:/usr/src/25> grep '[(]unsigned long[)][^ ]' net/*/*.c  | wc -l 
242
