Re: [PATCH] pktgen: sprintf arg type warning

Other systems have addressed this problem by extending printf with 
portable %formats.

Problem is that gcc -Wformat doesn't know the new format codes,
and in Linux we still have to support old gcc versions.

Yes, gcc has been modified to understand the new %formats.  That's the 
advantage to distributing a full system and not just a kernel :)

Standard trick is to cast to long.
