We also cast the parameter to 'unsigned long long' to match when displaying
sectors.

We moved the target name ('flakey: ') inside the macro instead of having to
write it in every message - so it needed #define DM_MSG_PREFIX.

I've made these changes and they'll appear at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/agk/patches/2.6/editing/
next time I sync up.

Well the main thing I'm missing is a Documentation file and a patch header.
This shouldn't be hard to write - any volunteers?  Kconfig should get a few
more words too.

It still needs a review for adherence to the latest dm standards, but that should
be really quick, given how small it is.
