Opps, I should have mentioned why I did that too...

The PRIi64  constants is intended to expand to the OS specific printf
format required for a 64 bit integer type. All Win32 runtimes have 
broken 64-bit integer printf support - their definition of PRIi64 
in fact wants a type of 'long' which is only 32bits. libvirt though
uses GNULIB which provides a replacement printf impl which works
properly, but  it does not replace the PRIi64 constant which still
refers to the Microsoft impl's requirements.  Thus we switch to just
using the fixed %llu which we know GNULIB guarentees to support, so
does not need "portability" constants.  Of course using int64_t 
with %llu then generates a warning, unless you cast to unsigned long
long. So in the end the simple solution is just to say

  %llu  and unsigned long long    

everywhere, and ignore all this portability stuff which is not in fact
portable or reliable
