Linux syscalls pass pointers or data length or other information of that sort
to the kernel. This is all stuff you don't want to have sign extended.
Otherwise a host 64bit variable parameter with a size parameter will extend
it to a negative number, breaking lseek for example.
Pass syscall arguments as ulong always.

[JRZ: changes from linux-user/qemu.h wass moved to linux-user/user-internals.h]
Signed-off-by: Jose R Ziviani <jziviani@suse.de>
qemu.h is included in various non-linux-user files (which
mostly want the TaskState struct and the functions for
doing usermode access to guest addresses like lock_user(),
unlock_user(), get_user*(), etc).
Split out the parts that are only used in linux-user itself
into a new user-internals.h. This leaves qemu.h with basically
three things:
* the definition of the TaskState struct
* the user-access functions and macros
* do_brk()
all of which are needed by code outside linux-user that
includes qemu.h.
The addition of all the extra #include lines was done with
sed -i '/include.*qemu\.h/a #include "user-internals.h"' $(git grep -l 'include.*qemu\.h' linux-user)
(and then undoing the change to fpa11.h).
