Perhaps this should be changed to print_hex_dump.

For the other changes, it might be useful to avoid
having string constants span multiple lines and
to align multi-line statements on the column after an
open parenthesis.  Statements that fit on a single
80 character line should be on a single line.

Some examples:

(tabs with spaces) might be:

	pr_err("INFO: Slab 0x%p objects=%u used=%u fp=0x%p flags=0x%04lx\n",
	       page, page->objects, page->inuse, page->freelist, page->flags);

Recombine strings (might be):
			pr_err("slub_debug option '%c' unknown. skipped\n",
			       *str);

Up to 80 char single line (might be):
			pr_err("INFO: Object 0x%p @offset=%tu\n", p, p - addr);
