[PATCH]: fix type of MAXMEM

[PATCH]: fix type of MAXMEM

[Juan Quintela]

Hi
        I expect that the amount from where it is highmem to never be
        bigger that 4Giga Megabytes :) I.e. int should be enough.

Later, Juan.

No.  The root cause of this problem is the type of the constant
HIGHMEM_START which should have been unsigned int but actually was
just int.
