Yes, somehow the charset is corrupted during procedure. Below is correct one:

drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c: In function ‘intel_iommu_attach_device’:
drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c:3150: warning: format ‘%llx’ expects type ‘long long unsigned int’, but argument 4 has type ‘u64’
drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c: In function ‘intel_iommu_map_range’:
drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c:3201: warning: format ‘%llx’ expects type ‘long long unsigned int’, but argument 4 has type ‘u64’

A lot of places in IA64 kernel assume l64. So it would be a big patch and
testing to change to ll64. I assume Matthew's patch will do that?

Thanks.
