Note, I get a warning when compiling 64 bit with %u and without the unsigned
int cast. Initially I had %lu without the cast which worked on my x86_64, but
it was reported that this usage caused a warning on 32 bit. So, there is a
different type of ARRAY_SIZE.

I do not get a warning for the ARRAY_SIZE thing with your code with either -
m32 or -m64 (I get other warnings though, which should not be of interest
here).

And I also get the same output. Yet I am not sure how that code can be
compared to the code in the kernel.
