The different width is on purpose: new_target is in kB, so it could
exceed the max page count on 32 bit systems (not that it would matter
as a guest of that size isn't possible). target_diff is a page count
so it will always fit into a long int.

Regarding signedness you are right. I probably should switch to long
for target_diff.
