Oh not those again. Similar warnings in 27-rc's drivers/pci
were fixed recently, but apparently someone out there likes
to create new ones.

The fix is to cast the resource_size_t arguments to unsigned long long.
With "%llx" that's the /only/ valid argument type.

Also note that these warnings aren't harmless. On 32-bit machines
with parameters passed on the stack the mismatch in size between
32-bit resource_size_t and the 64-bit %llx causes undefined
behaviour as printk mis-enumerates its parameters.
