Hmmm ... the '#' is a good idea, instead of an explicit "0x".

Do we want zero padding as well, with "0#8lx" ?

Zone PFN ranges:
DMA 0x00000000 -> 0x00001000
DMA32 0x00001000 -> 0x00100000
Normal 0x00100000 -> 0x00428000

or right aligned, space padded:

DMA 0x0 -> 0x1000
DMA32 0x1000 -> 0x100000
Normal 0x100000 -> 0x428000

I like the zero padding here myself.


Yes, zero padding.

What we really should have is %p produce this format. For some odd reason, right now %p produces numbers without the 0x prefix.
