    Sounds like it should be too me.  Some of the code checks for nr_swap_pages
    < 0 so I made it a long instead.  I had to fix up the ppc64 show_mem() (Im
    guessing there will be other trivial changes required in other 64bit archs,
    I can find and fix those if you want).
    
    I also noticed that the ppc64 show_mem() used ints to store page counts.
    We can overflow that, so make them unsigned long.
