That made sense when preempt_count was defined as different types on is not needed and should go away. The patch removes the cast. In kernel/timer.c the return value from preempt_count() is assigned to a variable of type u32 and then that unsigned value is later compared to preempt_count(). Since preempt_count() returns an int, an int is what should be used to store its return value. Storing the result in an unsigned 32bit integer made a tiny bit of sense back when preempt_count was different types on different archs, but no more - let's not play signed vs unsigned comparison games when we don't have to. The patch modifies the code to use an int to hold the value. While I was around that bit of code I also made two changes to a nearby (related) printk() - I modified it to specify the loglevel explicitly and also broke the line into a few pieces to avoid it being longer than 80 chars and clarified the text a bit.
