On a 64bit system the array_size() macro is going to do the exact same
casts? But I do think this code would be easier to understand if the
integer overflow check were pull out separately and done first:
if (array_size(vxres, vyres) >= UINT_MAX)
return -EINVAL;
if (vxres * vyres > maxmem) {
...
The UINT_MAX is because vxres and vyres are u32.
This would maybe be the first time anyone ever did an integer overflow
check like this in the kernel. It's a new idiom.
