From: Baoquan He <b...@redhat.com>
When process 32 bit relocation tables a local variable extended is
defined to calculate the physical address of relocs entry. However
it's type is int which is enough for i386, for x86_64 not enough.
That's why relocation can only be handled when kernel is loaded
below 2G, otherwise a overflow will happen and cause system hang.
Here change it to long as 32 bit inverse relocation processing does,
and this change is safe for i386 relocation handling too.
