I was reading the kerneljanitors TODO list at
http://www.kerneljanitors.org/TODO
From: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik at mandrakesoft dot com>
1) "unsigned int" is preferred to "int", it generates better asm code on
all platforms except sh5. This replacement needs to be done manually,
because often 'int' is required due to negative values -Exxx commonly
passed as error values.
If this is unwanted in the xfs code let me know.

The patch is mainly a partial janitor patch.
Given Linus's recent comments about code style, I can understand the
changes from 'return(foo);' to 'return foo;'. But why change 'int i'
to 'uint i'?
