Only one driver (i810) even sets that flag. Now the actual locking code uncoditionally promotes lock->context to an unsigned int.
Closer inspection of the userspace reveals that the drm lock context is defined as an unsigned int (at least on linux). I suspect we just have a strange case of signedness confusion going on.
Tested on my i815, doesn't seem to break anything.
