I have a patchset that creates a vsprintf extension for
print_vma_addr and removes all the uses similar to the
print_symbol() removal.

This now avoids any possible printk interleaving.

Unfortunately, without some #ifdef in vsprintf, which
I would like to avoid, it increases the nommu kernel
size by ~500 bytes.

Anyone think this is acceptable?

Here's the overall patch, but I have it as a series

This doesn't feel like a huge win since it's only called ~once per
architecture.  I'd be more excited if it made the printing of the whole
thing standardised; eg we have a print_fault() function in mm/memory.c
which takes a suitable set of arguments.
