Yes it does:

So the unsigned thing is a second bug in the original patch that Alexey
isn't fixing, we need to fix it too.

However, the actual bug Alexey is fixing is that we lost the actual
value of virq. IE, without his fix, we test it for 0 but we don't
actually return it if it's positive.

So he fixes the normal case but there's still a bug in the error case,
we need to make virq signed.

Cheers,
Ben.
