Seems reasonable.

I do somewhat lean toward checking for all larger values, but there
could be userland programs that leave the upper bits set when they cast
this to unsigned long. This is probably the safer thing to do.

I'll plan to pick these up for v4.12.

On the other related note...I think we ought to return ESRCH when
find_vpid returns NULL. I'll take a look at that sometime soon too.

Thanks!
