We have several modifiers for plain pointers (%p, %px and %pK) and now also
the no_hash_pointers boot parameter. The documentation should help to choose
which variant to use. Importantly, we should discourage %px in favour of %p
(with the new boot parameter when debugging), and stress that %pK should be
only used for procfs and similar files, not dmesg buffer. This patch clarifies
the documentation in that regard.
