Now the question is, why do you need the unhashed pointer?

Currently, the instruction pointer is what is fine right? You get the
a function and its offset. If there's something that is needed, perhaps we
should look at how to fix that, instead of just unhashing all pointers by
default.

The original version of this patch only fixed print_hex_dump(), because hashed addresses didn't make any sense for that. Each address is incremented by 16 or 32, but since they were all hashed, they may as well have been random numbers.
