Printing kernel addresses should be done in limited circumstances, mostly
for debugging purposes. Printing out the virtual memory layout at every
kernel bootup doesn't really fall into this category so delete the prints.
There are other ways to get the same information.

In looking at this patch, I wonder: is there anything listed here that
is _missing_ from CONFIG_PTDUMP? I would expect all of these to
already be listed there, but I thought I'd ask...
Regardless:

It doesn't print the .text etc. but those can be calculated other ways.

I've already ended up having to revert the vsprintf() change nobbling
%p for that very reason when debugging the BPF code. It's easier to
do that while debugging than remember about the %px thing - and lets
face it, probably less error prone if it leaks out.
Otherwise we'll just end up with everyone spelling %p as %px in their
debug statements... or using %lx and casting to unsigned long.
So yes, I do think a Kconfig option (defaulting to obscuring kernel
addresses of course) would have been very sensible for this.
