[patch 08/12] [NET]: Make second arg to skb_reserved() signed.

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

2.6.15.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let 
us know.

------------------

From: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Some subsystems, such as PPP, can send negative values
here.  It just happened to work correctly on 32-bit with
an unsigned value, but on 64-bit this explodes.

Figured out by Paul Mackerras based upon several PPP crash
reports.
