[Xen-devel] [PATCH] timers: limit heap size



First and foremost make timer_softirq_action() avoid growing the heap
if its new size can't be stored without truncation. 64k entries is a
lot, and I don't think we're at high risk of running into the issue,
but I think it's better to not allow for hard to debug problems to
occur in the first place.

Furthermore also adjust the code such the size/limit fields becoming
unsigned int would at least work from a mere sizing point of view. For
this also switch various uses of plain int to unsigned int.
