shm sysctl: int <-> ulong problem

shm_prm is declared in ipc/shm.c:
unsigned int shm_prm[3] = {,,};
there is an extern in kernel/sysctl.c:
extern size_t shm_prm[];

and it is written by do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(), and this function uses
an (unsigned long *) pointer to write the array.

AFAICS, this will fail on 64-bit platforms,
