[PATCH] lib: Fix bug in int_sqrt() for 64 bit longs
The implementation of int_sqrt() assumes that longs have 32 bits. On systems that have 64 bit longs this will result in gross errors when the argument to the function is greater than 2^32 - 1 on such systems. I doubt whether any such use is currently made of int_sqrt() but the attached patch fixes the problem anyway.
