The Device Manager code barfs when sector_t is 64bit wide (i.e. an u64) and
CONFIG_LBD is off. This happens on printk(), resulting in wrong memory
accesses, but also on sscanf(), resulting in overflows (because it uses %lu
for a long long in this case). And region_t, chunk_t are typedefs for
sector_t, so we have warnings for these, too.

Andrew Morton suggested simply using "%llu" and casting sector_t to unsigned
long long; but he missed the sscanf()'s, which cannot be fixed this way.

I've used %llu instead of %Lu for standards conformance, as suggested by

The problem is this code in drivers/md/dm.h:
/*
* FIXME: I think this should be with the definition of sector_t
* in types.h.
*/
#ifdef CONFIG_LBD
#define SECTOR_FORMAT "%Lu"
#else
#define SECTOR_FORMAT "%lu"
#endif

So we must fix the FIXME. However, having sector_t defined by the arch is
wrong in all current cases, and we fix these: we can simply decide this in
linux/types.h following CONFIG_LBD.

So, I have also removed HAVE_SECTOR_T; you can readd it, but it has no users.

All 64-bit arch use a 64-bit wide long for sector_t; almost all 32-bit archs
use a long long only if CONFIG_LBD is on. The only exception is h8300: for
that case, we add CONFIG_LBD = y and we are again in the general case.
And x86_64 does not need to define sector_t on its own.

Sample warnings (from both 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.9-rc2):
drivers/md/dm-raid1.c: In function `get_mirror':
drivers/md/dm-raid1.c:930: warning: long unsigned int format, sector_t arg (arg 3)
drivers/md/dm-raid1.c: In function `mirror_status':
drivers/md/dm-raid1.c:1200: warning: long unsigned int format, region_t arg (arg 4)
drivers/md/dm-raid1.c:1200: warning: long unsigned int format, region_t arg (arg 5)
drivers/md/dm-raid1.c:1206: warning: long unsigned int format, sector_t arg (arg 5)
drivers/md/dm-raid1.c:1212: warning: long unsigned int format, sector_t arg (arg 5)
