See map__fprintf(), everything that is for printing to a file like
output has that form: last paramenter is a FILE pointer, then users do:

   map__fprintf_dsoname(map, stdout);

or to stderr, or to something else, like in cases where tools have a
'strace -o FILENAME' like switch, like 'perf stat --log-fd N':

        OPT_INTEGER(0, "log-fd", &output_fd,
                    "log output to fd, instead of stderr"),

That uses fdreopen(output_fd), etc.

So please convert these new __print_something methods to
__fprintf_something(..., FILE *fp).

Also please don't use 'self' anymore, that was a bad decision I made in
perf's early ages and that Thomas Gleixner suggested we use more
descriptive names such as, in the above case, 'map', i.e.:

 void map__fprintf_dsoname(struct map *map, FILE *fp);

>From time to time I convert these 'self' leftovers in areas where I
notice that are not having too much coding activity, to avoid clashing
with pending patches, so lets not add more in new code :)
  
Thanks,
