intlist now only supports 'int' type.

I'm considering to use 'long' to replace original 'int' in struct int_node.

struct int_node {
	struct rb_node rb_node;
-	int i;
+	long i;
	void *priv;
};

On 32 bits platform, sizeof(long) is 4, and on 64 bits platform, sizeof(long) is 8. So that should 
be OK for storing the values such as pid/tid and address.

I'm not very clear why currently it uses 'int' for i in struct int_node, maybe something I don't 
understand correctly. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Thanks
