U_LONG should work on all arches.  malloc(9) still uses u_long instead
of size_t.  This works for scalars even on the recently removed i386's
with 32-bit longs where u_long is larger than size_t, since larger is
a fail-safe direction.  This fails for pointers.  Newer parts of malloc()
and uma are broken unless u_long is the same as uintptr_t, since they
cast pointers to u_long.  This direction is fail-safe too, but gcc warns
about it.

uquad_t should never be used, like unsigned long long.  Similarly for
signed types.  Perhaps it could be removed in sysctl interfaces first.
