Maybe yet another vsprintf extension?
Maybe %pH<vartype> where vartype is one of [hh, h, u, ul, ull]
with something like
u64 t1 = (u64)*(appropriate cast)vartype;
u64 t2 = t1;
int index = 0;
while ((t1 >>= 10)) {
index++;
t2 >>= 10;
}
to output the equivalent of
%llu%s, t2, "bkmgtpezy"[index]
ala dump_pagetables
