Very confident ;-)

This used to not work until some linux-2.6 version when we changed all
architectures to use asm-generic/int-ll64.h in the kernel, because
a lot of code relied on printing u64 variables using %lld.

I tend to use u64 for things like this because it's shorter than
'unsigned long long'.
