The PEB array is an array of __be32, so let's fix the
scan_pool() prototype accordingly.

The change makes sense, but does it fix a real issue?
I suspect it silences a compiler warning, which one?

Thanks,

No, doesn't fix any issue as far as I know.

It fixes a silly warning that's printed if -Wpointer-sign. Linux
disables the warning, so this patch doesn't even fix a warning.

I'd say it's merely cosmetic.
