[PATCH] Use unsigned int types for a faster bsearch

This patch avoids arithmetic on 'signed' types that are slower than
'unsigned'.  This saves space and cpu cycles.

size of kernel/sys.o before the patch (gcc-3.4.5)

    text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   10924     252       4   11180    2bac kernel/sys.o

size of kernel/sys.o after the patch
    text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   10903     252       4   11159    2b97 kernel/sys.o

I noticed that gcc-4.1.0 (from Fedora Core 5) even uses idiv instruction for
(a+b)/2 if a and b are signed.
