[Patch] physnode_map definition should be signed

[Yasunori Goto <ygoto@us.fujitsu.com>]

Hello Martin-san.

In your modification of pfn_valid() for IA32 at 2.6.4 stock kernel,
it doesn't return 0 even if the node is offline.

True problem is physnode_map's definition.
Physnode_map[]'s default (offline) value is -1,
but it is defined as UNSIGNED 8. 
So, pfn_to_nid() return 255. 

I think this should be defined as signed like this patch.
Maximum node number of IA32 is 16, so this is enough yet.

I found this problem on multi-node emulation for memory-hotplug test.
When I started X on this emulation, system panicked at remap_pte_range()
by this problem.
I think that system will be down when a program will call mmap()
for hardware area.

Could you check this? 
Or, Do you already know this problem?

Thanks.
