Subject: [PATCH 5/16] xics: change arg type to remove casts

From: Milton Miller <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 06:56:32 -0500 (CDT)

The xirr is 32 bits in hardware, but the hypervisor requries the upper
bits of the register to be clear on the hcall.  By changing the type
from signed to unsigned int we can drop masking it back to 32 bits.
