Like with PowerPC's version, on x86 the interrupt counters that are
added here are all unsigned int too (see irq_cpustat_t for x86)
as well as mce_exception_count and mce_poll_count.
Summing up unsigned int values into u64 does not "handle" overflows,
but if any of the individual counters overflows then the computed
sum is inaccurate.
