exynos4210_gic_realize() prints the number of cpus into some temporary
buffers, but it only allows 3 bytes space for it.  That's plenty - I'm
pretty sure that existing machines will only ever set this value to 2
(EXYNOS4210_NCPUS).  But the compiler can't really be expected to figure
that out.

Some[*] gcc9 versions therefore emit -Wformat-truncation warnings.  Fix
that by allowing more space in the temporary buffers - these are on stack
very briefly before being essentially strdup()ed inside the memory region
code, so there's not much cost to doing so.

[*] The bizarre thing here, is that I've long gotten these warnings
compiling in a 32-bit x86 container as host - Fedora 30 with
gcc-9.2.1-1.fc30.i686 - but it compiles just fine on my normal x86_64 host
- Fedora 30 with and gcc-9.2.1-1.fc30.x86_64.

Hmm magic again... So GCC provides a new warning with no helpful definitions about how to clean this :(

We already have:
#define UUID_FMT_LEN 36

What about adding/using UINT32_FMT_LEN?

      SysBusDevice *gicbusdev;
      uint32_t i;
