If flags are int, I could imagine another %p<foo> extension
where %*p<foo> is used like:

	printk("flags: %*p<foo>n", flags, bitstrings)

where flags is:

	BIT(0)
	BIT(1)
	...
	BIT(last)

and

	char *bitstrings[] = {
		"bit 0 description",
		"bit 1 description",
		...
		"last bit description"
	};

Or define YA struct with 2 entries as the struct members
and use that.

struct foo {
	unsigned long flags,
	char ** descriptions,
};

	struct foo bar = {.flags = <flags> .descriptions = bitstrings};

	printk("flags: %p<foo>\n, &bar);
