                                               ^^^
1) "int" Not needed.

2) This will cause memory corruption if long is 64 bit and int is 32
bit.  (ie x86_64).  The function modifies 64 bits instead of 32.

3) If you don't check the return value of strict_strtoul() then it's
almost equivalent to simple_strtoul().
