[PATCH] lib/hexdump: introduce DUMP_PREFIX_UNHASHED for unhashed addresses

From: Timur Tabi
Date: Wed Jan 06 2021 - 16:42:19 EST


Hashed addresses are useless in hexdumps unless you're comparing
with other hashed addresses, which is unlikely. However, there's
no need to break existing code, so introduce a new prefix type
that prints unhashed addresses.
