Thanks for checking on 32-bit!

Actually, I think the best fix is likely to change the variables
and the debugfs calls to u64 since even on 32-bit, the
counters may exceed 2**32 on a heavily-loaded long-running
system.

I'll give it a day or two to see if anyone else has any feedback
before I fix this for V10.
