[Xen-devel] [MULTIBOOT2 DOC PATCH v3 02/13] multiboot2: Replace u_virt with u32

[Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@xxxxxxxxxx>]

u_virt may sometimes confuse reader especially if description says something
completely different. Additionally, GRUB multiboot2 implementation does not
use u_virt anywhere. So, replace it with basic well defined and used in
implementation u32 type.
