2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>

commit 482db6df1746c4fa7d64a2441d4cb2610249c679 upstream.

This fixes a issue which was introduced by fe2cc53e ("uml: track and make
up lost ticks").

timeval_to_ns() returns long long and not int. Due to that UML's timer
did not work properlt and caused timer freezes.
