   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.
