Gaah. My bad. It should work fine ("unsigned long" is physically the same 
type as "size_t" in your case), but on 32-bit x86, size_t is generally 
"unsigned int" - which is the same physical type there (both int and long 
are 32-bit) but causes a valid warning.

I think we should just make the "size" member "size_t". I use "unsigned 
long" out of much too long habit, since we traditionally avoided "size_t" 
in the kernel due to it just being another unnecessary architecture- 
specific detail.

So the proper patch is probably just the following. Sorry about that,
