IP stands for instruction pointer, which is always a memory address,
so 'dsoip' does not seem like a good name. What about 'dso_offset'?

Renaming 'addr' just makes the patch more complicated.
Just leave it as 'addr'

There does not seem to be any reason to move these lines of code.

I would have expected to keep existing functionality unchanged i.e.

- if (map && !map->dso->kernel)
+ if (!print_dsoip && map && !map->dso->kernel)

Better to avoid '[unknown]+0x0' i.e.
