KVM functions use "long" return values for functions that are wired up to "struct file_operations", but otherwise use "int" return values for functions that can return 0/-errno in order to avoid unintentional divergences between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels. Some code still uses "long" in unnecessary spots, though, which can cause a little bit of confusion and unnecessary size casts. Let's change these spots to use "int" types, too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
