The thread Joe linked to refers to a comment that is now deleted;
sparc64 apparantly has 32-bit dma_addr_t at least, so there are
platforms where the two differ permanently. Adding a new printk format
is probably needed here after all.

PCI/PCI-e is the large unknown here, I'm not actually sure if any of
the current implementation of host controllers support it, but it
would seem likely that server-class hardware does.
