No; %p was already hashed to uniquely identify unique addresses. This
is needlessly exposing kernel addresses with no change in utility. See
[1] for full details on when %px is justified (almost never).

That's not accurate either; there is a difference between uid 0 and
kernel mode privilege levels.
Please revert these:

65875073eddd24d7b3968c1501ef29277398dc7b
And adjust this to replace %px with %p:

Thanks!
