This didn't happen. These lines are still in the version that went into
Linus' tree over the weekend for 2.6.28. On the ia64 build they spit
out a bunch of warnings:

kernel/resource.c:554: warning: format '%llx' expects type 'long long
unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'resource_size_t'

Ditto for args 4, 6 and 7 on the same line.
