Hi Jason,

I don't think that gcc accepts something like is_signed_type(typeof(a))
so I'm not sure that the is_signed_type() macro is useful in this context.

I have tested this patch. With this patch applied no warnings are
reported while building the mlx5 driver and the tests in
lib/test_overflow.c pass.

Thanks,

Bart.
