Here are two patches. First patch gives vsprintf the ability to print 64bit integers by using L as the qualifier Eg printf("a 64 bit number: %Lx", a64bitnumber); Also adds simple_strtoull (that handles long longs)
Second patch adds 48bit addressing support to the IDE interface. Needs the vsprintf patches to be able to print larger capacity.
Ummm... actually I don't like to increase the memory footprint for all systems for a feature which nearly nobody ever needs. I think it should be possible to print the large capacities without using such data formats (I guess you don't need 64 bit precision).
Best regards,

How long does it take a DEC field service engineer to change a
lightbulb? It depends on how many bad ones he brought with him.
