RE: [PATCH] Correct printk %pF to work on all architectures

[James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>]

OK, so could we get this in to -rc5 please?  It's a bug fix for parisc
since we're currently printing rubbish.

Subject: lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architectures

It was introduced by

commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Sun Jul 6 16:43:12 2008 -0700

    vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats


However, the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64.  For two
reasons:  1) parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different
format for function descriptors

Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides.  I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.
