That being said, the userspace PRIu64, et. al macros are complete format specifiers, not just a length modifier. And I think this results in less ugly format specifiers in our kernel code.
Yeah, I don't like "ino=%" PRIino "u, lolz\n" either. I'd rather have the whole format in the PRIino definition -- it /is/ unsigned long after all.
Just drop the bloody macro and the pointless micro-splitting of the change. After this the inode is always 64-bit and we can just use normal ll specifiers without messing things up.
