Really? 2 static buffers that are used alternately based on a static
variable? How can that possibly be thread-safe? That may work in very
restricted scenarios, but ...

Looking at "git blame" it seems the whole function is still from
linux-2.4. Looks like no-one ever noticed. I've sent a patchset fixing
it, thanks.

I was thinking you could use %pM, but it seems BT addresses are stored
the wrong way around for some reason ...

This looks like better idea then allocating buffers, we can use swap to
take care about "wrong order".

Pretty much what I had in mind, thanks. Luis, you'll notice that this
will be a pain to backport in compat. :-)

Mumble grumble. Oh well! :) I'm starting to enjoy the curve balls.
