Add, or is this one too infrequent to be listed here?

tcflag_t %lu or %lx or %lo

Since tcflag_t is unsigned int (on most $ARCH-es) or unsigned long (on sparc32),
use a cast to (unsigned long)flag when printing it.

[Yes, a sparc32 build gets lots of printk format warnings when printing tcflag_t
values.]
