On a powerpc 8xx, 'btc' fails as follows:
Entering kdb (current=0x(ptrval), pid 282) due to Keyboard Entry kdb> btc btc: cpu status: Currently on cpu 0 Available cpus: 0 kdb_getarea: Bad address 0x0
when booting the kernel with 'debug_boot_weak_hash', it fails as well
Entering kdb (current=0xba99ad80, pid 284) due to Keyboard Entry kdb> btc btc: cpu status: Currently on cpu 0 Available cpus: 0 kdb_getarea: Bad address 0xba99ad80
On other platforms, Oopses have been observed too, see https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/issues/139
This is due to btc calling 'btt' with %p pointer as an argument.
This patch replaces %p by %px to get the real pointer value as expected by 'btt'
