I don't thing it's a big issue to be honest, it just means the tests for
lowest_free_index < 0 are no-ops. I would be fine with a patch that
changes it to signed.

Ok, How's this? If my changelog is not clear feel free to amend it.

Hi Roel,

Please make it 'long' or 's64' to keep the size in the struct.

Cheers,
Jes

unsigned lowest_free_index was set in alloc_ate_resource() with the return
value of find_free_ate(), which is -1 when no free ate is found. Since
unsigned, a lowest_free_index of -1, `ate exhaustion', would then not be noticed
in a subsequent call to alloc_ate_resource().
