If these are trap or fault dumps, I think %px (or %llx) is correct.
Before riscv existed, I went through the fault handlers and fixed this
already:
10a7e9d84915 ("Do not hash userspace addresses in fault handlers")
and dump_stack() is calling show_regs(), so I think that should be
left readable as well. (If not, we have a lot more than riscv to fix.)
