Excerpts from Rasmus Villemoes's message of 2015-02-21 00:26:22 +1100:
> C99 says that a precision given as simply '.' with no following digits
> or * should be interpreted as 0. The kernel's printf implementation,
> however, treats this case as if the precision was omitted. C99 also
> says that if both the precision and value are 0, no digits should be

Nice catch Rasmus, but I think a better patch would be one that adds the
missing precision (%.16llx).

Cheers,
