I submitted this patch a while ago, but nobody commented on it.
All these casts of resource_size_t to (unsigned long long) seem horribly
wasteful to me...

Of course, to add a new format qualifier, we lose out on checking the format
string by gcc... Nowadays, this role can be done by sparse.

(Or perhaps gcc can be extended such that a string of allowable qualifiers
 can be passed along in kernel.h, that would just be super...)

This is mostly just to provoke a little bit of further discussion.

But we don't run sparse on every build. We do run gcc (a lot).

One of them must be lowercase `r'.

We probably could, in theory...

Duh. I'm a muppet.

Not usefully. I try it occasionally, but there's way too much spewage,
in particular of the "symbol was not declared. Should it be static?"
and "symbol shadows an earlier one" varieties.

That would of course be the best.  Something like an 
"format_custom_size("r", resource_t)" attribute.
