A "page count" can never be negative and we avoid the various possible overflow/signedness issues. However get_user_pages() and follow_hugetlb_page() return "page count or -ve errno", so we're somewhat screwed there. And that's the bulk of the patch :( btw, what twit merged a follow_hugetlb_page() which takes an undocumented argument called "i".
