In virt/kvm, there are 16 lines with unsigned, 160 with unsigned int , Both statements are correct, yes, it's kinda pointless, and, yes, it does standardize the declarations. It's entirely up the the maintainers (Paulo and Radim) to apply or reject this style-only trivial patch. The compiler doesn't care.
