Hi Micky,

I think that in these two cases we can rely on print_hex_dump_bytes that
doesn't have the dev_dbg limit on buffer size.
Let me know what you think about it. If you agree, I can send a new version
for patches 3/4 and 4/4, since the first two have already been merged in the
linux-next tree by Greg.

Regards,
Fabio
