Minor goof; should have been "int" everywhere,
as implied by the references to negative numbers
in the docs... negatives not used internally, but
preserved for external use (as above).

Intentional: board schematics and chip docs can
easily match up to Linux this way. What would be
unfortunate is needing to map hardware docs into
software ones all the time -- error prone.
When the API is used correctly, it's not an issue.
