So, I have a stupid question.  What's the best way for test_printf.c to 
read the command line parameter?  Should I just do this in vsprintf.c:

/* Disable pointer hashing if requested */
static bool debug_never_hash_pointers __ro_after_init;
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(debug_never_hash_pointers);

I'm not crazy about exporting this variable to other drivers.  It could 
be used to disable hashing by any driver.

AFAIK, the only command-line parameter code that works in drivers is 
module_parm, and that expects the module prefix on the command-line.
