doc?

[wangyanqing]

Hello, all!
Today when I look into dumpstack of x86,
I get %pB format specifier, and I don't
know what it is. But I can't find the information
from Documentation/printk-formats.txt. Yes, I
get the introduce from "git annotate and git log",
but I thinks It will be better if patches authors will 
add some documentation, right?

It wouldn't hurt to add some docs, yes, but for now the %p
extensions are all documented in lib/vsprintf.c, just above
function pointer(), around line 802 in 3.0-rc2.

Awhile back Andrew Murray proposed a patch.
Maybe he'll get back to it.
