This falls into the category of "what is commonly done" vs "what is ideal".

Personally, I'd prefer to have no ambiguity between dec and hex, and
would in principle prefer to start printing mfns with a leading 0x.

However, we a) don't have the current expectations documented, and b) I
consider it rude and obstructive to make an undocumented change to
expectations as part of reviewing an unrelated change.  (I certainly
find it obstructive when others do it to me in review.)

So long as the number is clearly identified as an mfn (which it wasn't
previously), the prevailing format used in Xen is %05lx, and this what
should be used.

When point a) above is addressed, there can be a proposed change to
expectations by patching the docs and adjusting the existing users.
