[PATCH] Fix vring_init/vring_size to take unsigned long
Using unsigned int resulted in silent truncation of the upper 32-bit on x86_64
resulting in an OOPS since the ring was being initialized wrong.
Please reconsider my previous patch to just use PAGE_ALIGN(). Open coding this
sort of stuff, no matter how simple it seems, is just asking for this sort of
trouble.
