At present, value of pointer variable or address can only be
stored in u64 type which is slightly not human readable, hence
this patch is. It adds telemetry support to store pointer value,

I'm a little curious as to the usefulness of having a pointer value in
telemetry output? How would a telemetry user be expected to use pointer
information returned? Printing pointers seems something more useful for a
debugging or tracing interface than a telemetry one.
