Let's add specifier %px as a clear, opt-in, way to print a pointer and maintain some level of isolation from all the other hex integer output within the Kernel.Yes, I like this model. It's easy and it's obvious ("'x' for hex"), and it gives people a good way to say "yes, I really want the actual address as hex" for if/when the hashed pointer doesn't work for some reason. So me likey.
BOOM!
And as with the address leaking script, I'd like it even more if you made it a git tree and I'll pull it.
Pull request to come. thanks, Tobin.
