You can define macros and use them in the format string.
In this case
		printk(KERN_WARNING "ioremap: invalid physical address %" PRIRESOURCESZ "\n",
		       phys_addr);
(see the PRI* macros in
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/inttypes.h.html
and e.g. glibc inttypes.h to see how it is defined).  Other alternative is
custom format length modifiers, but unfortunately there is no easy way ATM
to teach GCC about them.
