Unless BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE is changed, too, this would
still need a type cast. So we have two possible solutions:

(1) Use %lld (should work because BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE is unsigned long long).
(2) Use PRId64. This needs changes for BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE and 
blkverify_iovec_compare.

Any preferences? I tend to (2), but that change is less local.
