Oh, right, I think I was wrongly thinking long had 64 bits even on 32-bit.


Anyway, this suggests a possible better solution:

#if UINT_MAX == ULONG_MAX
	if (unlikely(remain > N_RELOC(ULONG_MAX)))
		return -EINVAL;
#endif


Or if that can't be used for some reason, something like

	if (unlikely((unsigned long)remain > N_RELOC(ULONG_MAX)))
		return -EINVAL;

should silence the warning.


Either of these should be better than completely disabling the warning
for the whole file.
