I think it's not very good idea to use kstrtoull() in
arch/x86/boot/compressed/* because some tricks are needed to
use the function, looks like Chao is trying...
It is the simple way here to use simple_strtoull() defined
in arch/x86/boot/boot.h, I think.
I know checkpatch.pl says an warning about simple_strtoull(),
however, I believe the warning is for simple_strtoull() defined
in lib/vsprintf.c.
Thanks,
Masa
