So while looking for potential overflows on 32-bit systems, I realised
that this was already broken: On my Calxeda Highbank (arm32) with 8GB of
memory, this returns a negative number, because of the signed longs.
Can you cast nr_pages to u64 while at it, to fix that? I don't think we
need a separate patch for that ...

This overflows on 32-bit system starting with 29 vCPUs. If you use "3ULL",
this problem goes away.

Cheers,
