Ingo, how come following patch getting lost?

commit 1cf44baad76b6f20f95ece397c6f643320aa44c9
Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>

    IO resources: fix/remove printk

    Andrew Morton noticed that the printk in kernel/resource.c was buggy:

    | start and end have type resource_size_t.  Such types CANNOT be printed
    | unless cast to a known type.
    |
    | Because there is a %s following an incorrect %lld, the above code will
    | crash the machine.

    ... and it's probably quite unneeded as well, so remove it.
