Ah, I see...  the thing here is that the mode is always an unsigned int
since it's a bitmask - this goes out beying the use in of_map_mode() and
into all the other APIs.  We only actually use 4 bits currently so I
think there's no problem switching to int but it seems we should
probably do that consistently throughout the API so that things don't
get missed later on.
