Yes.

In fact, this changes how many zeroes are prefixed when displaying the registers
(%016lx vs. %08lx format).  For example, 32-bits userspace, 64-bits kernel:

before this series:
  [66475.002900] segv[4599]: unhandled signal 11 at 00000000 nip 10000420 lr 0fe61854 code 1

after this series:
  [   73.414535] segv[3759]: segfault (11) at 0000000000000000 nip 0000000010000420 lr 000000000fe61854 code 1 in segv[10000000+10000]
  [   73.414641] segv[3759]: code: 4e800421 80010014 38210010 7c0803a6 4bffff30 9421ffd0 93e1002c 7c3f0b78
  [   73.414665] segv[3759]: code: 39200000 913f001c 813f001c 39400001 <91490000> 39200000 7d234b78 397f0030

Have you spotted any other behaviour change?

Cheers
