Well, actually gcc can (see below). Although, the more I think about
this, the more I'm thinking that the bin_printk() should be default
just copy the pointer content. As the whole point of bin_printk() is to
print the content at another time. And since pointers should not be
dereferenced later, it should be saved at the moment the bprintk() is
called and not dereferenced later.
