One of four registers gets permanently reserved. The code gets bigger

If Award is 8K, then we can argue that smaller bios'es suck more.

This patch removes all printk format warnings from my LBv3 build (Qemu
x86 config). This was tested with gcc 4.1.0 on x86.
However, the code at various locations is not 64bit clean at all and
will probably break down once we have more than 4GB of RAM. My patch
doesn't change that, it is merely
