* ** When making changes please also update:
* Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst
*
* Note: The difference between 'S' and 'F' is that on ia64 and ppc64
* function pointers are really function descriptors, which contain a
* pointer to the real address.
*
* Note: The default behaviour (unadorned %p) is to hash the address,
* rendering it useful as a unique identifier.
