It's an existing defect with modname, but surely this should take a
"const unsigned char **modbuildid", no?

The code doesn't quite match the comment. The lowercase s is not handled
(i.e., there's no way to say "without offset, with build ID"). You don't
have to fix the code to support that right now, the whole kallsyms
vsprintf code needs to be reworked inside-out anyway (having vsnprint
call sprint_symbol* which builds the output using snprintf() calls makes
me cringe), so please just replace [Ss] by S to make the comment match
the code - I notice that you did only document the S variant in
printk-formats.rst.

Is there any reason you didn't just make b an optional flag that could
be specified with or without R? I suppose the parsing is more difficult
with several orthogonal flags (see escaped_string()), but it's a little
easier to understand. Dunno, it's not like we're gonna think of 10 other
things that could be printed for a symbol, so perhaps it's fine.
