This is cosmetically nicer for counts > INT32_MAX, and aligns the
MC-scope format with that of the lower layer sysfs counter files.

While this is technically the right thing to do, I pity the system administrator that
is looking at a system with more than 2147483647 corrected or uncorrected errors!

So:

but maybe this is just churn and not really useful in practice?

Pity accepted :). I only noticed the sign mismatch after seeing a
negative value on a server in the wild. But it's cosmetic really; if
you've reached INT32_MAX you'll probably reach UINT32_MAX and can't rely
on the counter.

Cheers,
Eric

Applied, thanks.
