As Greg has already merged the original patch, and that version works just as well, I'd probably just leave what I did at first. One benefit is that in case we decide to kill off sparc64 support before drivers/char/lp.c, the special case can be removed more easily.

I don't think either of them is going any time soon, but working on y2038 patches has made me think ahead longer term ;-)

If you still think we should change it I can send the below patch (now actually build-tested) with your Ack.

I would like it, but since you convinced me the current version works correctly it's obvious lower priority than the other changes you have.
