[PATCH] Use unsigned int types for a faster bsearch
This patch avoids arithmetic on 'signed' types that are slower than
'unsigned'. This saves space and cpu cycles.
size of kernel/sys.o before the patch (gcc-3.4.5)

size of kernel/sys.o after the patch
text data bss dec hex filename

I noticed that gcc-4.1.0 (from Fedora Core 5) even uses idiv instruction for
(a+b)/2 if a and b are signed.
