Pointers should be printed with %p or %px rather than
cast to (unsigned long) and printed with %lx.
Change %lx to %pK to print the pointers.

I totally agree.
What I am asking about is why is this message needed at all? Why not
just remove the whole thing? Who uses it?

This information is printed for debugging usage.
But malicious user process can also print it through debugfs at
/sys/kernel/debug.
As it can be used for debugging, it's a little radical to just delete.
Therefore, I suggest replacing %lx with %pK to avoid kernel address leakage.
thanks,
Guo
