I'm somewhat uncomfortable with "long long" always implying 64bits,
or with long implying only 32 bits...

I'd prefer to see the API explicitly make a point of being for
64bit values, either with "uint64_t *" as the final arg or it being
called "ddi_strtou64"... but maybe the horse has already bolted
on this one, given ddi_strtoul, and thus the best we can hope for
is to be consistent with past "mistakes"?
