Would not that create more complexity which might not really
be required here for simple pgtable entry print solution that
would probably have very limited number of callers anyway. Is
not that reason - we did not go for the original printk format
proposed earlier.

IMHO this should be left unchanged. Later if there are more
users for such prints, those printk formats should again be
evaluated.
