[U-Boot-Users] IDE LBA48 support and vsprintf 64bit support

[VanBaren, Gerald (AGRE)]

The hex hack can work in decimal too.  Even more of a hack, but it will extend your range significantly.

if(sector < 1000000000)
  printf("Sector %d\n", sector);
else
  printf("Sector %d%09d\n", (unsigned int)(sector / 1000000000), (unsigned int)(sector % 1000000000));

Testing is an exercize left to the reader ;-)
