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 :).
