The code for this one is:

	transfer = min_t(int, count, 4096);

It's complaining because "tranfers" is u8, but the cast to int always
makes me worry negative values.  In this case, count is not user
controlled so it's safe.  But that's a common security problem you
should be aware of.  It's better to cast it to an unsigned value.
