Hi Greg,
The patch titled "64bit resource: fix up printks for resources in misc
drivers", committed as e29419fffceb8ec36def3c922040e1ca7bcd3de5 in
Linus's tree, causes my PowerBook to Oops early in boot and udev to
not function.
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x6f000000
Faulting instruction address: 0xc00c901c
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

When applied, this hunk yields

sprintf(dev->ofdev.dev.bus_id, "%1d.%016llx:%.*s",

MAX_NODE_NAME_SIZE, np->name);
Since dev->ofdev.dev is a struct device, bus_id is 20 bytes, of which
19 are consumed by "%1d.%016llx:". But the field width used by "%.*s"
is MAX_NODE_NAME_SIZE, which is 8.
drivers/macintosh/macio_asic.c:36:#define MAX_NODE_NAME_SIZE (BUS_ID_SIZE - 12)
So I think the sprintf overflows bus_id and clobbers the next few
bytes of struct device.
I'm not sure what the right thing to do is. Making bus_id bigger will
cost everyone, but right now with bus_id at 20 bytes, there's no room
after the colon for any of np->name.
