This version splits the change up to be more bisectable. It first adds a new kino_t typedef and a new "PRIino" macro to hold the width specifier for format strings. The conversion is done, and then everything is changed to remove the new macro and typedef.
Why remove the typedef? It might be better to keep it.
Why? After this change, internel kernel inodes will be u64's -- full stop. I don't see what the macro or typedef will buy us at that point.
