Don't know. For a C compiler, it doesn't matter, but it's fact that
most of the code in the kernel uses "unsigned int".

Because hw.extra_tx_headroom is unsigned. tx_headroom should be IMO
unsigned too but that's not just a matter of changing its type as it
would mean a lot of new warnings. We're talking about numbers several
orders less than int, so it's not an issue here anyway.

If you think "int" is more appropriate, fine with me, I don't really
care.
