i915 code here actually does something I think is more interesting than
HEXDUMP_SUPPRESS_0X**. It replaces any N repeating lines with a single star
marker. For example:

    00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
    *
    00000040 00000001 00000000 00000018 00000002 00000001 00000000 00000018 00000000
    00000060 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000003
    00000080 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
    *
    000000c0 00000002 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
    000000e0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
    *

If or when you end up with this feature in your series you can therefore
replace the whole implementation of hexdump in the above file.
