Subject: [PATCH] Use loff_t for size in struct proc_dir_entry

Hi,

Following patch is needed for seeing correct size for
/proc/vmcore for 32-bit systems with > 4G RAM.


Thanks
Maneesh




o Change proc_dir_entry->size to be loff_t to represent files
like /proc/vmcore for 32bit systems with more than 4G memory.
