No problem, nothing compared to the information delays at university^^

I found the funky braces disturbing too, but thought they were
convention, so happy to delete them.

Regarding "putting int amount at function level": well the problem is in
the other case statement is a unsigned long (and the pointer in
put_user() is (int __user *) ). I don't yet know if I can make that all
a simple int without losing correctness/security. I will send a v5 when
I figured that out.
