Subject: [PATCH 2/2] printk: add specifier %pz, for zeroed address
Currently %pK [at times] zeros addresses. It would be nice to remove %pK
entirely. Printing zero addresses is useful if we want to sanitize an
address but there may be userland tools that currently rely on the
address format (i.e the correct width).
Add printk specifier %pz.
