[PATCH][RESEND] lib/vsprintf: make-printk-non-secret printks all addresses as unhashed

[Timur Tabi]

If the make-printk-non-secret command-line parameter is set, then
printk("%p") will print addresses as unhashed.  This is useful for
debugging purposes.

A large warning message is displayed if this option is enabled,
because unhashed addresses, while useful for debugging, exposes
kernel addresses which can be a security risk.
