On my PPC host, HOST_LONG_SIZE is not defined even after
running configure. Use the normal C way of determining the
long size instead.

HOST_LONG_SIZE was removed by Stefan in commit 9c6ecf;
it looks like this PPC-only use was accidentally omitted.
For consistency with that commit and how we handle TYPE_LONG
in this function, it would be better to use 'sizeof(void *)'
here I think.

I'm fairly sure that's not semantically what we're aiming for. We're 
trying to find the host's typdef for the compat_dev_t type.
In fact, that one is defined as u32:

arch/powerpc/include/asm/compat.h:typedef u32        compat_dev_t;

So I'm not sure if sizeof(long) is even correct...
It's certainly more correct than sizeof(void*) and gets us bug 
compatible to where we were before :).

Actually I think we want __kernel_old_dev_t: TYPE_OLDDEVT is only used
in the loop_info struct. For PPC that's defined here:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.1.1/arch/powerpc/include/asm/posix_types.h#L31
as 'unsigned long' on ppc64 and 'unsigned int' on ppc.
And the way thunk.h finds the size of 'unsigned long' on the
host is by sizeof(void*).

The patch which added this HOST_LONG_SIZE was written before
my patch which removed HOST_LONG_SIZE, but it was committed
to QEMU master _after_ my patch.

As Peter wrote, sizeof(void *) would be a good replacement for
PPC(64) here.

Ok, changed to sizeof(void*). Since the patch is so trivial, I won't repost it, but instead just send it out with my next pull request.

That's fine from my side.
