[PATCH] x86: eliminate comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions

[Louis Langholtz]

Eliminates multiple compiler warnings when the -Wno-sign-compare option is
removed from the x86 Makefile (an option that is documented as a "Workaround
for a gcc prelease that unfortunately was shipped in a suse release").
