"git grep" finds 6 "%zx", 66 "%zu" and 80 "%zd" in my QEMU source tree.
Some of those are in debug traces, others are conditionally compiled
depending on your configuration. Are you sure that none of those needs
the same kind of modification, too? I don't thing fixing one of them for
an ancient compiler is worth the trouble of explaining why there is a
type cast.
What about using hwaddr instead of ssize_t for rtas_size (and
HWADDR_PRIx in the format string)? It looks like that would be more
consistent with the rest of the code. See for example the arguments of
function spapr_finalize_fdt.
