Well, it adds some 2.2 kB of code size for all ssytems - even those
who have zero benefit from it.

My personal preference would be to fix print_lnum() to take for
example a phys_size_t argument instead of u64.

I guess we need an #ifdef for the %llX (versus %lX) format  then  (or
does anybody know of a clever way to avoid this, maybe something like
the %zu we used to fix the size_t issues? )

Best regards,
