3.16.56-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <garsilva@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 24dbc6000f4b9b0ef5a9daecb161f1907733765a upstream. Currently, x86_cache_size is of type int, which makes no sense as we will never have a valid cache size equal or less than 0. So instead of initializing this variable to -1, it can perfectly be initialized to 0 and use it as an unsigned variable instead.
