[v5 01/20] x86/mpx: Use signed variables to compute effective addresses

[Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>]

Even though memory addresses are unsigned. The operands used to compute the
effective address do have a sign. This is true for the r/m part of the
ModRM byte, the base and index parts of the SiB byte as well as the
displacement. Thus, signed variables shall be used when computing the
effective address from these operands. Once the signed effective address
has been computed, it is casted to an unsigned long to determine the
linear address.

Variables are renamed to better reflect the type of address being
computed.
