I'm not so sure if this is a good idea because some systems have 36 bit
physical addresses while they only have 32 bit void pointers, so long long is
probably really the better solution.
I'm wondering if it would be worth having a special flag in printk to indicate
a physical address ("%lp" perhaps?) so that you don't get the unimportant
leading zeroes for the bits 36 to 63 for above mentioned platforms.
